Through what can Parliament control the government?

Correct answer: Question Hour, debates and no-confidence motion

Answer: A, Question Hour, debates and a no-confidence motion. Parliament controls the government mainly by demanding information, examining policies, and testing whether the ministry still has majority support. During Question Hour, ministers answer questions about government work. In debates, members examine proposals, decisions, and public problems, often exposing weaknesses or demanding changes. A no-confidence motion directly tests the government’s support in the Lok Sabha; if it loses, the ministry must resign. B is wrong because Parliament does not control the executive through police force. C is wrong because private business is not a constitutional method of legislative oversight. D is wrong because election symbols help voters identify candidates or parties and do not supervise daily government work. Memory cue: Parliament makes the government explain, defend, and remain accountable.
