[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation: The parliamentary form of government emphasizes the interdependence between the legislative and executive organs.

Hence, we have the ‘President-in-Parliament’ like the ‘Crown-in Parliament’ in Britain.
The presidential form of government, on the other hand, lays stress on the separation of legislative and executive organs.
Hence, the American president is not regarded as a constituent part of the Congress.
