B Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 108, when a Money Bill is passed by the Lok Sabha and transmitted to the Rajya Sabha, if the Rajya Sabha does not return it within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses. This provision ensures the Lok Sabha's supremacy in financial matters - the Rajya Sabha cannot reject Money Bills, only delay them for a maximum of 14 days.
