{'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'council': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'chairman': [0, 0, 3, 5], 'ministers': [2, 1, 2, 3], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'membership': [5, 1, 1, 3], 'size': [1, 0, 6, 4]}

The correct answer is option 3, Prime Minister. In a parliamentary form of government like in India, the Prime Minister has the authority to decide the size and membership of the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister is the head of the government and is responsible for appointing and removing ministers. The Council of Ministers, also known as the Cabinet, is a group of senior government officials who are chosen by the Prime Minister to assist in decision-making and policy implementation. They are selected from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, but ultimately it is the Prime Minister who determines the composition and size of the Council of Ministers based on the needs and priorities of the government.
