Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the House of the People, that is the Lok Sabha.
This is why a government falls when it loses a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha and not when it loses one in the Rajya Sabha.
Ministers are individually responsible to the President, who appoints them, but the collective responsibility runs to the lower House alone.
