What is the best meaning of accountability in policy decisions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decision-makers must explain and answer for their actions

Correct answer: A. Accountability means that people and institutions exercising public power must explain what they did, why they did it, and respond to questions or criticism. In policy decisions, accountability may operate through Parliament, public information, reports, debate, elections, and other lawful forms of scrutiny. It helps citizens judge whether a decision was reasonable, lawful, and in the public interest. B is wrong because secrecy without explanation weakens accountability. C is wrong because accountability requires respect for law, not its rejection. D is wrong because closing Parliament removes an important forum for questioning government. Memory cue: accountability means answerability, not merely authority.
