A Correct answer
Explanation

There is no constitutional provision for impeachment of the prime minister in the strict meaning of the word, which is a formal process of initiating accusation of unlawful activities and removal from office. The prime minister gets removed from his post with a simple no confidence motion passed by majority of the elected MPs, i.e. when he ceases to be the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha.
