b) Parliament can recommend the removal of judges including Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. 

c) No taxes can be levied or incurred without the approval of the Parliament. 

d) Parliament can initiate and remove the Vice-President from his office. 

Solution: 

• Parliament can impeach the President for the violation of the Constitution. The President can be removed from office by a process of impeachment for ‘violation of the Constitution’. An impeachment is a quasi-judicial procedure in the Parliament. 
• A judge of the Supreme Court can be removed from his Office by an order of the president. The President can issue the removal order only after an address by Parliament has been presented to him in the same session for such removal. 
• No tax can be levied or collected and no expenditure can be incurred by the Executive except under the authority and with the approval of the Parliament. It comes under the financial powers and functions of the Parliament and not judicial powers and functions.  
• Vice-President can be removed by a resolution passed by a majority of all the then members of the Rajya Sabha and agreed to by the Lok Sabha.
