Answer
C. Both I and II
Step-by-step solution
According to Article 109(1) of the Constitution of India, a Money Bill shall not be introduced in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha). Thus, Statement I is correct. According to Article 109(2), after a Money Bill has been passed by the House of the People (Lok Sabha), it is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations. The Rajya Sabha has no power to reject or amend a Money Bill directly. It can only return the bill within a period of fourteen days with its recommendations (suggested amendments), which the Lok Sabha may either accept or reject. Thus, Statement II is also correct. Both statements I and II are correct. Answer: Both I and II
