Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B Legislature and the Executive are prominently distant from each other.
C The executive branch is not answerable to the legislative branch.

In contrast to the Presidential form of government, the Parliamentary form of government makes a distinction between the Head of the State and the Head of the Government. In this form of government, the legislature and executive are closely related to each other. The executive branch is directly answerable to the legislative branch. It can, in fact, be removed by the legislature.
