  2. chosen by the head of state

Explanation

In parliamentary systems, the party with the most seats in parliament chooses the head of government. This person is usually called the Prime Minister.

The people elect parliament members, not the Prime Minister directly. The head of state and judiciary do not choose the PM.

This system is used in countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, and India.
