Cevap
The Monarch invites the leader of the political party that can command the confidence of the House of Commons to form a government.
The correct answer accurately reflects the UK's constitutional convention where the Monarch, as Head of State, invites the leader of the party that has won the most seats (or can form a coalition) to become Prime Minister. This person must be able to 'command the confidence' of the House of Commons to effectively govern.
