General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AIt is part of the Parliament.
- BIt is responsible to the Parliament.
- CIt remains in power till it enjoys the confidence of the Parliament.
- DA person from outside the Parliament can never be appointed a member of the Cabinet.
Explanation
The Union Council of Ministers is part of the parliamentary system, is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, and remains in power only while it enjoys the confidence of the House. However, a person who is not a member of Parliament can be appointed a minister, provided they become a member within six months (Article 75(5)). Statement D denies this possibility and is therefore not a correct description.
