A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 108 provides for a joint sitting of both Houses to resolve disagreements on ordinary bills. Since Lok Sabha has more members (543 vs 245), its will prevails in joint sitting. The President summons the joint session and the Speaker presides. This provision doesn't apply to Money Bills or Constitutional Amendments.
