The parliamentary government is characterized by a close relationship between the legislature and the executive, where the executive is accountable to the legislature for its policies and actions. It is called 'Cabinet government' due to the central role of the cabinet, 'Responsible government' for its accountability, and the 'Westminster model' as it originated in the British Parliament located at Westminster.

The Indian parliamentary system is derived from the British Constitution (Article 74 and 75 specifically provide for the Council of Ministers to aid and advise the President and state their collective responsibility to the Lok Sabha).
The executive is a part of the legislature and remains in office only as long as it enjoys the confidence of the majority in the lower house.
The 'Fixed executive system' refers to the Presidential system, such as in the USA, where the executive is not responsible to the legislature.
The Indian parliamentary system is often termed the 'Westminster model' due to its structural resemblance to the UK Parliament.
Cabinet government refers to the concentration of executive power in a small body of ministers.
Responsible government highlights the mechanism of collective responsibility, primarily found in the Lower House of the Parliament.
The 'Fixed executive system' (Statement 4) is a hallmark of the Presidential system, making it the incorrect element in the series, thereby invalidating any option containing it.
Option B is the correct choice as it accurately identifies the three synonyms while excluding the term that characterizes the Presidential system.
B is correct тАФ Parliamentary government is known as Cabinet government, Responsible government, and the Westminster model, as the executive is accountable to the legislature.
