खालील विधाने लक्षात घ्या :
(a) प्रचलित लोकसभेच्या शेवटच्या अधिवेशनाचा निर्देश 'लेमडक सेशन' या संकल्पनेने केला जातो. निवडणूकीनंतर नवी लोकसभा अस्तित्वात येते आणि मागील लोकसभेचे शेवटचे अधिवेशन होते त्यास ही संकल्पना वापरली जाते.
(b) वर्तमान लोकसभेचे जे सदस्य नव्या लोकसभेत निवडून येवू शकले नाहीत त्यांना 'लेमडक्स' असे म्हटले जाते.
(c) 'लेमडक' ही संकल्पना सर्वप्रथम कॅनडाच्या संसदेत वापरण्यात आली.

The correct answer is Option B ((a) and (b)).

Key Points:
• Parliamentary Concept of 'Lame Duck':
• Lame-Duck Session: It refers to the final session of an outgoing parliament/legislature that takes place after the election for the successor legislature has occurred, but before the term of the newly elected members begins. (Statement (a) is correct).
• Lame Ducks: The incumbent members of the existing Lok Sabha who contest but fail to get re-elected to the new Lok Sabha are colloquially called 'lame ducks'. (Statement (b) is correct).
• Historical Origin: The political idiom 'Lame Duck' originated in the 18th-century London Stock Exchange and was later adopted into American political jargon (United States) to describe elected officials whose successors have already been chosen. It did NOT originate in the Canadian Parliament. (Statement (c) is false).
• Key Takeaway: A 'lame duck session' is the outgoing Lok Sabha's final session; members failing re-election are termed 'lame ducks' (an American origin term).
