C Correct answer
Explanation

Members of the Lok Sabha are elected, not appointed, by the common people of the nation. Hence, the President does not have any power to appoint or dismiss them. They can only be suspended from the Lok Sabha by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha on the grounds of misbehavior.
