Cevap
The Sovereign remains politically neutral and acts on the advice of government ministers who are responsible for political decisions.
The correct answer accurately describes the constitutional relationship where the Sovereign serves as a neutral figurehead. This ensures the Monarchy provides stability and national unity while the elected government handles the day-to-day political running of the country. The phrase 'reigns but does not rule' signifies that while the Monarch is the source of legal authority, that authority is exercised by ministers on their behalf.
