C: To Allow A Reduction Of Special Amount In Demand For Grant
D: To Postpone The Proceeding To check The Inappropriate Or Violent Behaviour On The Part Of Some Members

The answer is: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A: To allow a discussion on a definite matter of urgent public importance.

The Adjournment Motion is a parliamentary device in the Parliament of India that allows Members of Parliament to discuss a matter of urgent public importance. The Adjournment Motion is moved in the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha with the prior permission of the Speaker or the Chairman, as the case may be.

Once the Adjournment Motion is moved and accepted, the normal business of the House is suspended and the House takes up the discussion on the issue raised in the Motion. The discussion may last for up to two and a half hours, and the concerned Minister is required to reply to the points raised during the discussion.

Option B is incorrect because the Adjournment Motion is not related to collecting information from Ministers.

Option C is incorrect because the reduction of a special amount in demand for grant is related to the discussion on the Budget and not to the Adjournment Motion.

Option D is incorrect because the purpose of suspending the proceedings is different from the Adjournment Motion. Suspension of proceedings is done in case of inappropriate or violent behavior by Members, whereas the Adjournment Motion is related to the discussion of a matter of urgent public importance.
