The principle of ‘collective responsibility’ under parliamentary democracy has three main implications, as follows:

1. A motion of no-confidence can be moved in the Council of Ministers as a whole as well as an individual minister. This means that if the Parliament is dissatisfied with the overall performance of the Council of Ministers or a specific minister, a motion can be initiated to express a lack of confidence.

2. No person shall be nominated to the Cabinet except on the advice of the Prime Minister. This means that the Prime Minister has the authority to suggest or recommend individuals to be a part of the Cabinet. The final decision lies with the Prime Minister, and no one can be appointed to the Cabinet without their advice.

3. No person shall be retained as a member of the Cabinet if the Prime Minister says that he shall be dismissed. This implies that the Prime Minister has the power to dismiss or remove individuals from the Cabinet. If the Prime Minister decides that someone should no longer be a part of the Cabinet, their membership will be terminated.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, which indicates that both statement 2 and 3 are true.
