C Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 109, Rajya Sabha can only delay a Money Bill for maximum 14 days and make recommendations. However, Lok Sabha may accept or reject these recommendations. Rajya Sabha cannot amend or reject a Money Bill, and its recommendations are not binding on Lok Sabha. This preserves the supremacy of the directly elected house in financial matters.
