A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 108 of the Indian Constitution provides for joint sitting of both Houses to resolve disagreements on ordinary bills. The Lok Sabha's numerical superiority in joint session (545 vs 245) usually determines the outcome. The President only summons, doesn't mediate.
