Who selects the Cabinet ministers?

  1. The Governor General

  2. The Prime Minister

  3. The House of Commons

  4. The citizens through direct vote

The correct answer is: The Prime Minister

The Prime Minister is responsible for selecting the Cabinet ministers. The Governor General, while technically appointing the Cabinet ministers on the advice of the Prime Minister, does not have a say in the selection process. The House of Commons and the citizens do not have a direct role in selecting Cabinet ministers either. Therefore, B is the correct answer. A is incorrect because the Governor General does not individually choose the Cabinet ministers. C and D are incorrect because the selection process does not involve the House of Commons or direct voting by citizens.
