Explanation:

Responsibility of the Executive to the Legislature: Since the Legislature gives birth to the Executive, the Legislature has the authority to hold the Executive responsible for all its actions. Thus the Council of Ministers is responsible to Lok Sabha. They are responsible for the working of their respective departments as well as other departments. The responsibility is further conditioned through its collectivity i.e. the responsibility of every Minister is the responsibility of the entire Council of Ministers. Hence option 3rd is correct.
