During a general meeting of Sahyog Mahila Mandal, two members repeatedly disrupt proceedings and refuse to follow the chairperson's directions. Which action best reflects the chairperson's role in the conduct of meetings under the model code approach?
The chairperson should maintain order, direct the members to follow the rules and, if they persist, require them to withdraw. Ensuring orderly conduct is a core chair function, while dissolution or cancelling past resolutions lies outside it.

- BMaintain order, direct the disruptive members to follow the rules and, if needed, require them to withdraw from the meetingCorrect
- CCancel all earlier resolutions of the year
- DHand over the chair to the disruptive members

The chairperson is responsible for orderly conduct and may enforce decorum, including asking persistently disruptive members to leave. Dissolving the society or voiding earlier resolutions is beyond that role. Handing the chair to disruptors defeats order.
