B Correct answer
Explanation

According to Article 108 of the Indian Constitution, a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament is summoned by the President to resolve deadlocks on bills. However, the sitting is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, not the President. This is because the Lok Sabha has 543 members compared to 245 in the Rajya Sabha, making the Speaker's role appropriate for presiding.
