-
B.
Parliament can amend the Constitution
-
C.
Rajya Sabha cannot be dissolved
-
D.
Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha
Correct Answer:
D. Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha
Explanation:
The reason why India has a Parliamentary System of Government is because:
(d) The Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha.
Explanation:
In a parliamentary system, the executive (Council of Ministers) is accountable to the legislature (specifically, the Lok Sabha in India).
The government continues to hold office only as long as it enjoys the confidence of the majority in the Lok Sabha.
This principle of responsibility and accountability to the elected house distinguishes the parliamentary system from other forms of government.
The Lok Sabha being directly elected, and the Rajya Sabha not being dissolvable, are characteristics but not the fundamental reason for the parliamentary system.
Parliament's power to amend the Constitution is unrelated to the nature of the parliamentary system.
Thus, the correct answer is (d) Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha.
