Asking questions to ministers in Parliament shows which feature of political executive?

Correct answer: Accountability

Correct answer: A, accountability. The political executive includes elected leaders such as ministers. They use public authority and public money, so they must explain their decisions and actions to Parliament. When Members of Parliament ask questions, ministers have to provide information, clarify policies, and respond to criticism. This allows representatives of the people to examine the government instead of allowing ministers to act secretly or without explanation. Option A is correct because answering questions is a direct form of democratic accountability. Option B is wrong because hereditary right means power passed through a family, not responsibility to Parliament. Option C is wrong because ministers do not privately own the government or public institutions. Option D is wrong because judicial independence concerns courts being free from improper pressure; it does not describe ministerial accountability. Memory cue: in a democracy, authority must be answerable—power comes with responsibility.
