Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. the United Kingdom.
India's parliamentary democracy is based on the Westminster model of the United Kingdom. This system features a constitutional head of state (the President in India), a head of government (the Prime Minister), and a bicameral legislature comprising the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. While India adopted this framework from Britain, it introduced unique elements: the President is elected, unlike the UK's hereditary monarch; the Indian Parliament's powers are limited by a written Constitution and judicial review, differing from the UK's parliamentary sovereignty.
