How does the opposition control the government in Parliament?

Correct answer: Through questions, criticism and debate

Correct answer: A — the opposition controls the government through questions, criticism, and debate. In a parliamentary democracy, the government must explain its decisions to Parliament. Opposition MPs ask questions, raise public concerns, examine bills and budgets, point out weaknesses in policies, and debate the actions of ministers. This does not mean that the opposition runs the government; it means that it checks the ruling side and makes its work visible to the public. A is correct because questioning and debate are constitutional and democratic methods of oversight. B is wrong because closing courts would damage the rule of law and is not a parliamentary control method. C is wrong because removing the Rajya Sabha is neither the normal role nor the power of the opposition. D is wrong because hiding a Money Bill is not lawful scrutiny. Memory cue: opposition “questions and checks”; it does not destroy institutions.
