Answer is B only, why because.

The speaker has the power to prorogue (postpone/adjournment) the lok sabha. B is the right answer. While the president has the power to discontinue a session in Parliament. So B is correct answer.

Prorogation.

Prorogation means the termination of a session of the House by an order made by the President under article 85(2)(a) of the Constitution. Prorogation terminates both the sitting and session of the House. Usually, within a few days after the House is adjourned sine die by the presiding officer, the President issues a notification for the prorogation of the session. However, the President can also prorogue the House while in session.
