What is the effect of collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers to Lok Sabha on policy decisions?

Correct answer: The government must remain accountable to majority and Parliament

Correct answer: A. Collective responsibility means that the Council of Ministers acts as one team and remains responsible to the Lok Sabha. The government must normally retain the confidence, or support of the majority, in that House. Therefore ministers must defend government policies together, answer questions, and accept political consequences if the government loses majority support. Option A correctly connects collective responsibility with parliamentary control over policy. B is wrong because government action can be subject to constitutional and judicial review; the word “never” makes it false. C is wrong because public policy is made through constitutional government, not private companies. D is unrelated to collective responsibility. Memory cue: one Council, one public responsibility, Lok Sabha support.
