Options

A.
B.

Explanation

Parliamentary privileges are divided into two categories: collective and individual. Individual privileges are enjoyed by members personally, such as freedom of speech under Article 105(1), freedom from civil arrest 40 days before and after a session, and exemption from serving as a witness. On the other hand, excluding strangers, publishing proceedings, and punishing for breach of privilege are collective powers exercised by the House as a whole.
