The Correct Option is C

The question pertains to the authority exerted by each House of Parliament over its own proceedings, as well as the ability to question the validity of such proceedings on procedural grounds. This is explicitly outlined under Article 122 of the Constitution of India.

Here's a breakdown of the relevant provisions:
