Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation: The Speaker is the head of the Lok Sabha, and its representative.

He is the guardian of powers and privileges of the members, the House and its committees.
He is the principal spokesman of the House, and his decision in all Parliamentary matters is final.
He is thus much more than merely the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha.
