A.
In most parliamentary systems the prime minister is chosen by the legislature (usually the leader of the majority party or coalition). In most presidential systems the president is elected separately by the voters (directly or via an electoral college), independent of the legislature.
(Note: there are exceptions — some presidents are chosen by parliaments in parliamentary republics, and hybrid/semi‑presidential systems mix features — but A states the typical distinction.)
