Correct Answer:
B. President
Explanation:
The President of India is considered the constitutional head of the Republic. According to Article 53 of the Constitution, the executive power of the Union is formally vested in the President, who exercises this authority either directly or through subordinate officers. While the Prime Minister serves as the head of government and wields real executive power through the Council of Ministers, the President remains the nominal head of state, the first citizen, and the supreme commander of the armed forces. Under Article 74(1), the President acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, maintaining the ceremonial and constitutional integrity of the nation's parliamentary system.
