Option 1: This option states that the Union Cabinet is part of the Parliament. However, this is incorrect. The Union Cabinet is not a part of the Parliament. The Parliament consists of two houses, namely the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, while the Union Cabinet is a part of the executive branch of government.

Option 3: This option is a correct description of the Union Cabinet. It states that the Cabinet remains in power as long as it enjoys the confidence of the Parliament. If the Cabinet loses the confidence of the Parliament, it may be forced to resign.

Option 4: This option is also correct. It states that a person from outside the Parliament can never be appointed a member of the Cabinet. The members of the Union Cabinet are usually elected members of either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
