    D)  1, 2 and 4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Initiation of the removal of a Judge of the Supreme Court can be done in either House of Parliament. The resolution for creation of a new All India Service under Article 312 can be passed only in the Rajya Sabha. Under Article 352, the Lok Sabha can discontinue a proclamation of National Emergency by passing a resolution to that effect and such a power is not available to the Rajya Sabha. Statement 4 is correct, it can authorise the Parliament to make a law on a subject enumerated in the State List (Article 249).
