D Correct answer
Explanation

The President can only be removed through impeachment, which is a quasi-judicial process detailed in Article 61. It requires a signed accusation (by at least 1/4 of members) and a 2/3 majority in both Houses. The Prime Minister, Vice-President, or Chief Justice have no direct role in removing the President.
