Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

During the discussion on Demands for Grants in the Lok Sabha, members can move 'cut motions' to reduce the amount of a demand [1]. These are classified into three distinct categories: 1. Disapproval of Policy Cut, which seeks to reduce the demand to Re. 1 to express total disapproval of the underlying policy [1]. 2. Economy Cut, which proposes reducing the demand by a specified amount to effect savings in expenditure [1]. 3. Token Cut, which involves a nominal reduction of Rs. 100 to ventilate a specific grievance within the government's responsibility [1]. These motions serve as critical parliamentary control mechanisms over the executive's financial proposals. If a cut motion is passed, it is considered a vote of no confidence, and the government is traditionally obliged to resign. Since all three listed categories are valid types of cut motions, the correct answer is 1, 2, and 3.
