The leader of the majority party in Lok Sabha becomes Prime Minister; what relation between Parliament and the executive does this show?

Correct answer: The executive emerges from and depends on the elected House of Parliament.

Correct answer: A. India follows a parliamentary form of government. The President is the formal head, but the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers exercise executive authority and are normally drawn from Parliament. The leader who can command a majority in the Lok Sabha is invited to form the government. The Council of Ministers remains collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, so it must retain the confidence of that elected House. A is correct because it shows both origin and dependence: the executive is formed from the parliamentary majority and is answerable to Parliament, especially Lok Sabha. B is wrong because the judiciary does not elect the executive. C is wrong because Parliament makes laws, controls public finance, and scrutinises the executive. D is wrong because Rajya Sabha does not directly elect the Prime Minister. Memory cue: parliamentary executive means government from the majority and responsible to the House.
