Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 75(3) makes the Union Council of Ministers collectively responsible to the House of the People, or Lok Sabha. The accountability attaches to the Council as a whole, rather than treating each minister’s parliamentary responsibility in isolation. Article 75(1) instead governs appointment of the Prime Minister and other ministers, so it is a different part of the constitutional scheme.
