dThe president is responsible to Judiciary
eNone of the above/More than one of the above✓ Correct

Explanation

In general, there are two systems of government—parliamentary and presidential. India, following Great Britain, has adopted the parliamentary system. In a parliamentary system, members of the legislature form the executive, and the executive is responsible to the legislature. The executive is controlled by the legislature, and the judiciary can conduct judicial review of the actions of both the executive and the legislature. The President is not responsible to the judiciary. Therefore, option (e) is the correct answer.
