D Correct answer
Explanation

In India's parliamentary system, the Executive (Council of Ministers) is drawn from and responsible to the Legislature (Parliament) - hence 'Executive follows Legislature'. However, the Judiciary is completely independent of both under the Constitution's separation of powers doctrine. This ensures judicial independence while maintaining parliamentary accountability of the executive.
