Answer the following questions by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.

Consider the following assessment questions (A) and (B) related to the working of the state government.
A: What is the purpose of a press conference ? How is it different from a Legislative Assembly debate?
B: What is the term used to refer to elected representatives who are not members of the ruling party and who play the role of questioning govt. decisions ?
choose the correct option:

Correct option is D

(A)tests conceptual knowledge whereas (B) tests factual knowledge.
Question (A) delves into conceptual knowledge by requiring students to understand the function and purpose of a press conference, and to differentiate it from the formal debate process within a Legislative Assembly, emphasizing analytical thinking and comprehension of political communication methods. Question (B), asking for a specific term used to describe non-ruling party members who scrutinize government decisions, targets factual knowledge—recalling specific terminology related to political structures and roles. This distinction highlights the different cognitive skills these questions aim to assess: one focusing on understanding concepts and their application, and the other on recall of specific facts.
