B Correct answer
Explanation

A joint sitting can only be convened between Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the two Houses of Parliament. This happens under Article 108 when there is a disagreement between the two Houses on an ordinary Bill (except Constitution Amendment Bills). Legislative Assemblies/Councils are state legislatures and cannot have joint sittings with Parliament.
