Correct Option: D

Generally, Ministers are appointed from the legislature. But, an exception to this rule is carved out by the Constitution itself. The combined effect of Articles 75(5) and 88 is that a person not being a Member of either House of Parliament can be a Minister only up to a period of 6 months before which he has to get elected.
