The members of the Council of Ministers in India are collectively responsible to the legislature which implies:

The Parliament can call all the ministers any time.

All the ministers are members of the Parliament too.

The ministers take identical stand before the Parliament.

A voting of no confidence against any one minister is taken as a vote of no confidence against the entire Council of Ministers.

Explanation:

Article 75(3) of Indian Constitution states that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the People. Collective responsibility means members of a Cabinet follow an integrated policy, for which all of them accept responsibility and on which they stand or fall together. Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to “Lok Sabha”. This means that if the Ministry loses the confidence of the “Lok Sabha”, all ministers including those who are from Rajya Sabha have to go. The entire ministry is obliged to resign. This means that ministers fall and stand together. This is called “Rule of Collective Responsibility”. Hence option 4th is correct.
