E.

Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Collective responsibility is a principle in parliamentary systems of government (like in the UK), which means:
The Cabinet acts as a single decision-making body.
All ministers are bound by decisions made collectively, even if they personally disagreed during discussions.
If a minister publicly criticises a cabinet decision, they are expected to resign; otherwise, they are considered to be violating collective responsibility.
