D. he can preside at the sitting of the House, but cannot speak and take part in the proceedings of the House and cannot vote in the first instance.

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

According to Article 96(1) of the Indian Constitution, when a resolution for the removal of the Speaker is under consideration, the Speaker shall not preside at the sitting of the House. However, the Speaker retains the right to speak in, and otherwise take part in, the proceedings of the House during such a resolution.

Furthermore, the Speaker is entitled to vote only in the first instance on such a resolution or any other matter during those proceedings, but not in the case of an equality of votes. Therefore, option (a) accurately describes the Speaker's position.

This question tests specific constitutional provisions related to the Speaker's office.
