A Correct answer
Explanation

The President of India has the constitutional authority to call a joint session of both Houses of Parliament under Article 108. This is done when a bill has been passed by one House but not the other, and after a period of six months has elapsed since its receipt by the other House. The Prime Minister, Vice President (who is ex-officio Chairman of Rajya Sabha), and Rajya Sabha Chairman do not have this power.
