C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 61 of the Indian Constitution states that either House of Parliament can initiate impeachment proceedings against the President. The process must be initiated in one House and then investigated by the other House. Lok Sabha alone or Rajya Sabha alone cannot initiate impeachment - both houses acting as Parliament have this power. Legislative Assemblies have no role in the impeachment process at the central level.
