Ministers answer questions in Parliament; which feature of political executive is shown by this?

Correct answer: Parliamentary accountability

Correct answer: A. In a parliamentary democracy, ministers are responsible for the work of their departments and must answer questions raised in Parliament. Questioning allows elected representatives to seek information, identify mistakes, examine spending, and ask the government to explain its policies. This makes the political executive accountable to the legislature and, through elected representatives, to the people. A is correct because answering Parliament is a direct form of parliamentary accountability. B is wrong because judicial appointment is a separate constitutional matter and is not shown merely by ministers answering questions. C is wrong because permanent service security concerns civil servants, not the accountability demonstrated here. D is wrong because Governor’s Rule is a different constitutional arrangement and has no connection with ordinary ministerial questioning. Memory cue: “Questions in Parliament mean ministers must answer.”
