What are the Prime Minister's responsibilities?

  1. The judicial system of Canada

  2. Foreign policies exclusively

  3. The operations and policy of the government

  4. Defence and military operations only

The correct answer is: The operations and policy of the government

The Prime Minister's responsibilities are not exclusive to any one branch of government or policy area. A, B, and D are all incorrect because they only cover one specific aspect of the Prime Minister's responsibilities, rather than the full extent of their duties. The Prime Minister is responsible for overseeing the operations and policies of the entire government, which includes the judicial system, foreign policies, defence, and military operations, as well as other areas such as economic policy and appointments to government positions. Therefore, C is the correct and most comprehensive answer.
