Detailed Solution

(A) is false but (R) is true.
The executive has two divisions in a democracy. It is the people who elect the political executive to serve for a specified period. This group includes political leaders who make crucial decisions. The permanent executive or civil services make up the second category. Long-term appointments ensure that civil servants keep their positions even if the ruling party changes. Their responsibility is to support and report to the political executive on a daily basis. The will of the people is supreme in a democracy. Since the people choose the political administration, it has the authority to enforce the will of the citizenry. Since the minister must answer to the people, they make all final choices. Thus, the political executive has more power than the political executive.
