If the Prime Minister does not clearly allocate responsibilities among departments, what problem is likely?

Correct answer: Confusion in policy implementation and lack of accountability

Correct answer: A. A government has many departments and each department handles particular subjects. Clear allocation of responsibilities helps a minister, civil servants, Parliament, and citizens know who is expected to make decisions and answer for results. If responsibilities are not assigned clearly, two departments may neglect the same task, duplicate work, or blame each other when a policy fails. This creates confusion during implementation and makes accountability weak. A is therefore the logical governance result. B is wrong because presidential elections follow a separate constitutional process and are not stopped by departmental allocation. C is wrong because the names and constitutional positions of the Houses cannot change in this way. D is wrong because budget preparation is not transferred to the judiciary. Memory cue: clear portfolios create clear responsibility; unclear portfolios create blame-shifting.
