Answer: A

The Chief Election Commissioner can be removed only in the same manner and on the same grounds as a judge of the Supreme Court - by an address of both Houses on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.

The protection is given by Article 324(5). The other election commissioners, by contrast, can be removed on the CEC's recommendation.
