Explanation
A censure motion requires no leave of the House — unlike a no-confidence motion, which needs 50 members to rise in support — so statement A is NOT correct. The government fixes the time and date for its discussion (B true); it can be moved against the entire Council of Ministers (C true); and the Speaker decides whether the motion is in order (D true).
