Answer:

C) The power of the monarch is limited by the constitution

In this system, there is a head of state and a head of government. The head of government is the prime minister who has the real power and has the direct or indirect support of the parliament. The head of state on the other hand is the constitutional monarch who has a rather formal role.

Answer:

C. The power of the monarch is limited by the constitution

Explanation:

The British parliamentary system practices constitutional monarchy. In constitutional monarchy, the monarch exercises authority in accordance with a written or unwritten constitution. This means that the power of the monarch is not "absolute", but is limited by the constitution.

According to Political scientist Vernon Bogdanor,he sees a constitutional monarch as "A sovereign who reigns but does not rule". The monarch is more or less a figure head, and is not responsible for the day to day policy making in the country.

This is the case of the system of government in England.

This make the correct option "C"
