Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
In the parliamentary system, practised in Nigeria's First Republic and in Britain, ministers are members of parliament and the government falls if it loses a vote of confidence. There is fusion, not separation, of powers, and the ceremonial head of state (monarch or president) is separate from the prime minister.
