2. Zero hour
3. Half-an-hour discussion
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

1 only
2 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 2 only
Explanation:

b) 2 only. When a member feels that the answer given to a question is not complete or does not give the desired information, he may be allowed by the Speaker to raise a discussion in the House for half an hour. The procedure is, therefore, termed as Half-an-Hour Discussion. Zero hour is an informal device, not mentioned in any rules of the Parliament. Question hour, the first hour of a sitting, of course is the most important formal device.
