Correct answer: "India is a parliamentary democracy, so the members of the legislature elect the prime minister."
Brief explanation:
- India has a parliamentary system. After a general election the party or pre‑election/post‑election coalition that commands a majority in the Lok Sabha (the lower house) picks its leader to be Prime Minister.
- The President formally appoints that leader as Prime Minister; the PM must have (and keep) the confidence of the Lok Sabha.
- The PM is not directly elected by the voters. (A PM can be or become a member of either house of Parliament, but the governing majority is determined in the Lok Sabha.)
