- Adjournment sine dieTerminates a sitting of Parliament for an indefinite period without setting a day for reassembly
- QuorumMinimum number of members (one-tenth of total membership) required to conduct a sitting
- DissolutionEnds the life of the existing Lok Sabha and necessitates a fresh general election
Answer
Prorogation matches with ending a session of the House by the President; Adjournment sine die matches with terminating a sitting for an indefinite period; Quorum matches with the minimum membership requirement of one-tenth to conduct business; and Dissolution matches with bringing an end to the life of the Lok Sabha.
Each parliamentary procedural term is correctly paired with its constitutionally specified definition: Prorogation terminates a session via Presidential order, Adjournment sine die suspends a sitting without a specified reassembly date via the Presiding Officer, Quorum establishes the 10% minimum attendance requirement under Article 100(3), and Dissolution terminates the tenure of the Lok Sabha.
