A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 108 of the Indian Constitution empowers the President to summon a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament. This happens when a bill is passed by one House but rejected by the other, or when both Houses disagree on amendments. The Vice President presides over the Rajya Sabha but cannot call joint sessions.
