    D.

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is  (c) For the violation of Constitution Mentions

    Explanation:

    According to Article 61 of the Indian Constitution, the President of India can be impeached for the violation of the Constitution. The impeachment can be initiated by either House of Parliament if the President is found guilty of violating the Constitution. The term "misbehavior" mentioned in the question refers to actions that are against the Constitution.

    Information Booster:
    1. Impeachment of the President is a constitutional process under Article 61.
    2. The process begins with a motion in either House of Parliament.
    3. The impeachment motion needs a two-thirds majority in both Houses.
    4. Violation of the Constitution means actions that undermine or go against the constitutional framework of India.
    5. Misbehavior includes actions that are incompatible with the President's role but can be considered under the broad category of constitutional violations.
    Additional Information:
    • On found not capable of leading the post: The Constitution does not provide a mechanism for impeachment due to incapacity to lead.
    • For Proved Misbehavior: Misbehavior is part of the broader ground of constitutional violation.
    • On found guilty of a Criminal Offence: Criminal offenses do not automatically result in impeachment; they must be linked to constitutional violations to initiate impeachment.
