Explanation:

As per Article 75 of the Constitution the Prime Minister shall be appointed by the President and the other Ministers shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. Hence option (c) is the correct answer. • The ministers shall hold office at the pleasure of the President. As the ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President they shall be liable to dismissal even when they have the confidence of the Legislature. But since the Prime Minister’s advice will be available in the matters of dismissing other ministers individually, it may be expected that this power of the President will virtually be a power of the Prime Minister against his colleagues to get rid of the undesirable colleague even when the even where that Minister may still possess the confidence of the majority in the House of the People. Usually, the Prime Minister exercises this power by asking an undesirable colleague to resign.
