A
Secession
B
Impeach
C
Nullify
D
Veto
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In India, the President has three veto powers, i.e. absolute, suspension and pocket. The President can return a bill for reconsideration of the Parliament. This constitutes the Suspensive veto power of the Indian President.

Detailed explanation-2: -But the bill reconsidered by the parliament becomes a law with or without the president’s assent after 14 days. The president can also take no action indefinitely on a bill, sometimes referred to as a pocket veto. The president can refuse to assent, which constitutes an absolute veto.

Detailed explanation-3: -The power of the President to refuse to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevent its enactment into law is the veto.

Detailed explanation-4: -Congress can override a veto by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. (Usually an act is passed with a simple majority.) This check prevents the President from blocking an act when significant support for it exists.
