[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation: The President can be removed from office by a process of impeachment for ‘violation of the Constitution’.

However, the Constitution does not define the meaning of the phrase ‘violation of the Constitution’.
The impeachment charges can be initiated by either House of Parliament.
These charges should be signed by one-fourth members of the House (that framed the charges), and a 14 days’ notice should be given to the President.
After the impeachment resolution is passed by a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of that House, it is sent to the other House, which should investigate the charges.
