    C I and IV only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D I, II, and IV only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over joint sittings of Parliament. They must be an elected member of the Lok Sabha and are eligible for re-election.
    However, the Speaker does not vote in regular proceedings—only in the event of a tie, where they exercise a casting vote.
    Hence, only Statements I, II, and III are correct.
