Solution

The correct option is A Majority of the members of the Lok Sabha
The ministers are collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha which implies that the Lok Sabha can remove the ministry from office by passing a vote of no confidence. The no confidence motion can only be introduced in Lok Sabha. Hence, the ministry stays in office so long as it enjoys the confidence of the majority of the members of the Lok Sabha.
