What is the importance of decisions taken in Cabinet meetings?

Correct answer: They decide the major policy direction of the government

The correct answer is A. The Cabinet is the small, senior group of ministers that takes the most important decisions for the government. It discusses national policies, priorities, programmes, and major administrative matters. Once a Cabinet decision is taken, the concerned ministries and departments work to implement it, subject to the Constitution, laws, and parliamentary procedures. Option A is correct because Cabinet meetings help determine the government’s major policy direction. Option B is wrong because courts decide cases and impose punishments according to law; the Cabinet cannot decide a court’s sentence. Option C is wrong because election results are declared by the competent election authorities after counting, not by the Cabinet. Option D is wrong because electoral authorities prepare and update voter lists. The Cabinet is not the same as the entire Parliament or the judiciary. Memory cue: Cabinet decides policy; departments implement it; Parliament examines and controls the government.
