Which is the most correct difference between the Cabinet and the Council of Ministers?

Correct answer: The Cabinet is the smaller and more effective decision-making group within the Council of Ministers

Correct answer: A. The Council of Ministers is the larger body consisting of all categories of ministers. The Cabinet is its smaller inner group, made up mainly of senior ministers holding important departments. Because it meets more regularly and takes the main policy decisions, it is the effective centre of government decision-making. The Council of Ministers includes the Cabinet and has a wider membership. Option A is correct because it shows both the relationship and the Cabinet’s practical importance. Option B reverses the relationship: the Cabinet is part of the Council of Ministers, not the other way around. Option C is wrong because the Cabinet belongs to the executive, while the judiciary is a separate organ. Option D is wrong because both bodies are central parts of the Union executive. Memory cue: Cabinet is the small inner team; Council of Ministers is the larger whole.
