Which of the following is NOT a part of Parliament?

Parliament is made up of the monarch plus the two Houses — the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The monarch plays a ceremonial role today, but is still considered part of Parliament, especially in ceremonial functions like opening Parliament and giving the Speech from the Throne. The Cabinet, while composed of senior ministers who are usually MPs or peers, is an executive body. It’s not a separate parliamentary chamber or institution. Members of the Cabinet come from Parliament to govern and propose policy, but the Cabinet itself isn’t a component of Parliament. That’s why it’s the one that isn’t part of Parliament.
