    B)  2 only

    C)  2 and 3 only    

    D)  1 and 2 only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] When a member feels that the answer given to a question is not complete or does not give the desired information, he may be allowed by the Speaker to raise a discussion in the House for half an hour. The procedure is, therefore, termed as 'Half-an-Hour Discussion'. Zero hour is an informal device, not mentioned in any rules of the Parliament. Question hour, the first hour of a sitting, of course is the most important formal device.
