The main advantage of the parliamentary form of government is that

  1. the executive and legislature work independently.
  2. it provides continuity of policy and is more efficient.
  3. the executive remains responsible to the legislature.
  4. the head of the government cannot be changed without election.

Explanation

Option (c) is correct
  • In a parliamentary system, the executive branch (Prime Minister as head of Government) is drawn from the legislative branch. The ministers are collectively responsible to the Parliament in general and to the Lok Sabha in particular (Article 75). They act as a team, and swim and sink together. The principle of collective responsibility implies that the Lok Sabha can remove the ministry (i.e., the council of ministers headed by the prime minister) from office by passing a vote of no confidence.
