Correct Answer:
B. President
Explanation:
The Governor of an Indian state is appointed by the President of India, as per Article 155 of the Constitution. Although the Governor serves as the constitutional head of the state, the position is not elective. Instead, the President issues a warrant under his hand and seal to formalize the appointment, typically acting on the recommendation of the Union Council of Ministers. A Governor generally serves a five-year term but remains in office at the "pleasure of the President," meaning they can be removed or transferred at any time by the central government. To be eligible, an individual must be a citizen of India and at least 35 years of age.
