Question Hour reflects which deeper control power of Parliament?

Correct answer: Compelling the executive to answer publicly

Correct answer: A. During Question Hour, Members of Parliament ask ministers questions about government policies, decisions, spending, administration, and public problems. Ministers are expected to provide answers, information, and reasons before the House. This makes the executive explain its actions in a public forum and allows members, including the opposition, to identify weaknesses or demand corrective action. Option A is correct because Question Hour is a direct instrument of legislative scrutiny and executive accountability. Option B is wrong: courts interpret and apply law; Parliament does not use Question Hour to order courts to legislate. Option C is wrong because Question Hour cannot dissolve Rajya Sabha. Option D is wrong because State Legislative Assemblies do not become Parliament through questioning. Question Hour does not itself remove a government, but repeated questioning can create political pressure and improve transparency. Memory cue: “Questions in the House make ministers answer to the public.”
