C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 61 of the Constitution provides for the impeachment of the President by Parliament. The process can be initiated in either House of Parliament and requires the resolution to be passed by a two-thirds majority of the total membership of that House. The other House then investigates the charge and must pass the resolution by two-thirds majority to complete the impeachment. Neither Lok Sabha alone, Supreme Court, nor Council of Ministers can remove the President.
