Correct Answer:
A. President
Explanation:
The power to appoint the Attorney General of India is vested in the President of India, as mandated by Article 76(1) of the Constitution. The President selects a candidate who meets the qualifications required for a Supreme Court judge, typically acting on the advice of the Union Cabinet. Because the Attorney General serves at the pleasure of the President, there is no fixed term of office, and by convention, the incumbent usually resigns when the government that recommended them is replaced.
