Hint: The Parliament controls and guides the government. It is made up of all the representatives elected by the people. People in this sense form the government and also control it through their chosen representatives.

Complete answer:
Parliament of India consists of the President, the Lok Sabha or the House of the People, and the Rajya Sabha or the Council of States. One group from among the representatives, elected by the people to the Parliament, forms the government. The Indian Parliament was created after 1947. The faith that the people of India have in principles of democracy is expressed in the Parliament. These are governed by consent and participation by people in the decision-making process. The Parliament is the representative of the people in our system and thus it has immense powers. The manner in which the elections for the state legislature are held, the elections to the Parliament are also held in a similar manner. Usually once every five years, the Lok Sabha is elected. For this purpose, the country is divided into numerous constituencies and each of these constituencies elects one person to the Parliament. Usually, the candidates who contest elections belong to different political parties. These candidates become Members of Parliament or MPs once elected. The Parliament is made up of these MPs together.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The organisation, composition, duration, procedures, privileges, officers, powers, and so on of the Parliament are enshrined in Article 79 to 122 in Part V of the Constitution.
