What is the term given to the action of discontinuing a session of a parliament or other legislative assembly without dissolving
- Adjournment
- Postponement
-
Prorogation
- Recess
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Prorogation is the formal ending of a parliamentary session by the head of state or other authority, without dissolving the parliament. It marks the end of a session but not the end of the legislative body's existence.
Adjournment refers to the suspension of a sitting of a legislative body to a later date or time. Recess refers to a break or temporary halt in the proceedings of a legislative body, not the discontinuation of a session.
