A. Casting Vote
B. Sound Vote
C. Direct Vote
D. Indirect Vote

Answer: Casting Vote

A casting vote is a vote which may be exercised (usually in addition to his or her normal vote as a member of the body, if he or she has one) by the presiding officer of a council or legislative body, or of any committee, to resolve a deadlock and which can be exercised only when such a deadlock exists. Example of the officer who holds casting vote is Speaker of the Lok Sabha in Indian Parliament.

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India. The speaker is elected in the very first meeting of the Lok Sabha following general elections. Serving for a term of five years, the Speaker is chosen from amongst the members of the Lok Sabha and is by convention a member of the ruling party or alliance.

Though a member of the House, the Speaker does not vote in the House except on those rare occasions when there is a tie at the end of a decision. Till date, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha has not been called upon to exercise this unique casting vote.
