Solution

The correct option is D Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister

In a Parliamentary form of government, real powers of the State are vested in the Prime Minister and his council of ministers. This is because of the following reasons:

  • The Prime Minister is the chief spokesperson of the Executive as well as the leader of the Lok Sabha
  • The Prime Minister holds the power to dismiss and appoint ministers and can ask a blundering minister to resign
  • The Prime Minister directs as well as defends the policies of the Executive
  • The Prime Minister is responsible for intervening in the controversial matters and settling the debate
  • The Prime Minister’s resignation automatically dismisses the whole cabinet.
