Final answer:

In a Federal Executive Council of a parliamentary government system, the Governor General option (d) is not included as this position is typically ceremonial and not part of the executive decision-making body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federal Executive Council does not include d) the Governor General. The primary function of the Federal Executive Council in parliamentary systems is to advise the head of state and typically includes the Prime Minister, Cabinet members, and other senior ministers, but not the Governor General, who usually holds a ceremonial position as the representative of the monarch in constitutional monarchies.

For example, in understanding government structures, one should note that in a parliamentary form of government, the executive body (the Council of Ministers) is accountable to the Parliament, differing from a presidential government, where the executive has a set term and is not accountable to the legislature in the same manner. Also, it is important to remember that the President's selections are often subject to Senate approval or other legislative bodies, except for staff members such as personal aides, as seen in the United States' Executive branch operation.
