Correct Answer:
C. Attorney General
Explanation:
The Attorney General of India is established under Article 76 of the Constitution as the nation's highest law officer. Appointed by the President, the Attorney General serves as the primary legal advisor to the Union Government and represents it in various legal proceedings across the country. While the Solicitor General is the second-highest law officer, they function in a subordinate role to assist the Attorney General. Because the Attorney General holds the supreme legal authority for the central government and has the right of audience in all Indian courts, they are recognized as the highest law officer in India.
