The Parliament of India exercises control over the functions of the Council of Ministers through1.Adjournment motion2.Questions hour3.Supplementary questionsSelect the correct answer using the code given below:

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. Adjournment motion is a control device, but Question Hour and supplementary questions are also classic parliamentary checks. 1 only is incomplete.

2. B

   2 and 3 only

   (b) 2 and 3 only. Dropping adjournment motion ignores a recognised tool against the Council of Ministers. Not the key.

3. C

   1 and 3 only

   (c) 1 and 3 only. Question Hour is the everyday control instrument. Not the key.

4. D

   1, 2 and 3

   (d) 1, 2 and 3. Parliament controls the Council of Ministers through adjournment motions, Question Hour, and supplementary questions (besides no-confidence, cut motions, and debates). All three listed devices count. This is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) 1, 2 and 3. Collective responsibility is enforced on the floor: Question Hour extracts information and criticism; supplementaries follow up; an adjournment motion can raise a definite urgent matter and censure the government. None of the three is ornamental. Cut motions on demand for grants and no-confidence are neighbouring weapons. All three listed tools are genuine controls.
