Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is elected by the House from among its members as soon as possible after its first sitting [2]. According to the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, the date for the election of the Speaker is fixed by the President of India [2]. Once the President approves the date, the Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha sends a notice to all members informing them of the schedule. This process typically occurs after the newly elected members have been sworn in by the Speaker pro tem, who is also appointed by the President. In contrast, the date for the election of the Deputy Speaker is fixed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha [3]. The Speaker remains in office for the duration of the Lok Sabha unless they resign, cease to be a member, or are removed [2].
