B. The head of government is chosen by members of his or her political party.
This statement is true for both presidential and parliamentary systems of government. In a parliamentary system, the head of government (the prime minister) is typically the leader of the majority party in the legislative branch and is chosen by the members of that party. In a presidential system, the president is elected separately from the legislative branch, but the president's party often plays a role in legislative decisions, and the president may be affiliated with a political party.
