The correct answer is C) the executive remains responsible to the legislature.
The main advantage of the parliamentary form of government is the principle of executive accountability to the legislature. The government (executive) is formed by members of the legislature and remains in power as long as it retains the confidence of the legislature. This direct responsibility ensures that the executive is continuously answerable to the elected representatives of the people, facilitating closer coordination and potential checks on executive power.
