Roles of the President concerning the sessions of the Parliament:
The President of India has several significant roles and powers when it comes to the functioning of the Parliament of India. Here are the roles corresponding to the options mentioned:

• Summoning: The President has the power to summon each House of Parliament to meet. This means that the President can call for a new session of the Parliament. This is done at such time and place as he thinks fit. Normally, there are three sessions of Parliament in a year: the Budget session, the Monsoon session, and the Winter session.
• Proroguing: The President can prorogue the Houses of Parliament. This means that the President can end a session of the Parliament. However, it must be noted that prorogation does not affect the bills, resolutions, motions, etc., pending before the House, which can be resumed in the next session from the stage at which they were left before prorogation.
• Dissolving Lok Sabha: The President has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha. This means that the President can end the tenure of the Lok Sabha before its term of five years. However, the President can dissolve Lok Sabha only on the advice of the Prime Minister. Once the Lok Sabha is dissolved, all business including bills, motions, resolutions, etc., pending before it or its committees lapse.

So, all the above-mentioned roles - summoning, proroguing, and dissolving the Lok Sabha are performed by the President concerning the sessions of the Parliament. 

Let's carefully reevaluate the events related to Siraj-ud-Daulah and his interactions with the British:

I. Protest against the British conquest of Chandranagore
   - This is incorrect Siraj-ud-Daulah did not protest against the British conquest of Chandranagore because it was a French settlement. He was against the British fortifications in Calcutta, not their conflict with the French at Chandranagore.

II. Concede almost all the demands of the British by concluding a Treaty with them
   - This is incorrect. Siraj-ud-Daulah did not concede to British demands. In fact, he was in conflict with the British and wanted to restrain their influence in Bengal. After capturing Calcutta in 1756, the British later recaptured the city and forced him to sign the Treaty of Alinagar in February 1757.

III. Order the British to demolish additional fortifications of Calcutta
   - This is correct  Siraj-ud-Daulah was unhappy with the unauthorized fortifications that the British had made in Calcutta and ordered them to demolish these fortifications, which they ignored.

IV. Besiege and capture Calcutta in June 1756
   - This is correct. Siraj-ud-Daulah besieged and captured Calcutta in June 1756, which led to the Black Hole of Calcutta incident.

Therefore
- Statement I is incorrect.
- Statement II is incorrect.
- Statement III is correct.
- Statement IV is correct.

Thus, the correct option is:
d) III, IV
