Detailed Solution

The political party that runs the government is known as the ruling party.
The political party which rules over the government is called the ruling party. The political party which does not rule over the government is called an opposition party. The groups are neither in ruling nor in opposition but create or shape public opinion, and the government works accordingly and are called pressure groups. The pressure group is not necessarily any political party; it can be any organisation or group. Political parties are an essential factor in the functioning of democracy and hence are a vital part of the democratic system. The correct option for the question is the ruling party.
