What does the oath of ministers show?

Correct answer: Loyalty to the Constitution and responsibility of office

Correct answer: A. Before entering office, a minister takes the constitutionally prescribed oath. The oath expresses commitment to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office. It reminds the minister that public power is held under constitutional rules and must be used responsibly, not for personal benefit or arbitrary action. A is correct because it identifies both constitutional loyalty and official responsibility. B is wrong because taking the ministerial oath does not make a person a member of the Election Commission. C is wrong because a minister’s oath is not an appointment to the judiciary; courts have a separate structure and judicial office. D is wrong because voter lists are prepared through election administration, not through a minister’s oath. The oath is a promise of constitutional service, not a routine ceremony without meaning. Memory cue: oath means Constitution, office, responsibility.
