B Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 368, a constitutional amendment bill must be passed by both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha with a special majority, and there is no provision for a joint sitting. In contrast, the Rajya Sabha has more power in creating New All India Services (Article 312) and less power in financial matters like cut motions or the removal of the government. Therefore, equality is specifically maintained in the amendment process.
