The correct option is C 2 and 3 only

Statement 2 is correct: The Executive is collectively responsible to the legislature.

Statement 3 is correct: The Lower House is subjected to dissolution periodically. The Upper House is a continuous chamber and can't be dissolved.

Statement 4 is incorrect: Ministers are the members of the Houses. They can't be drawn from the outside of the Houses. The constitution provides 6 months of time period for a minister to become a member of the House. But the ultimate membership is needed for the Ministerialship.
