Hint:
1. The Prime Minister of India is the leader of the executive branch of the government of India and the chief advisor to the President of India.
2. The PM is the head of the government and a member of the parliament, and the head of the Union council of Ministers.

Complete answer:
The Prime Minister of India is the executive head of the State. He is also the chief advisor to the President of India and Council of Ministers. He is the real custodian of all executive authority and the head of the government.

The Prime Minister is appointed from a majority party in the Lok Sabha which makes him the head of Lok Sabha. The Prime Minister allots and changes the portfolio of the ministers as per necessity. He also presides over the Council of Ministers and Union Cabinet.

As per the explanation the correct solution would be – all of the above as the PM is –
> Head of the government.
> Leader of Lok Sabha.
> Change the portfolios of the minister at will.
> And choosing any one of the options might be wrong in this context.

Therefore the answer is D.

Note:
1) The office of the Prime Minister is the most powerful office in India.
2) The prime minister has to have the confidence of a majority in the Lok Sabha and will have to resign if he is unable to prove the majority when instructed by the president.
