Correct Answer:
B. President
Explanation:
According to Article 124 of the Constitution of India, the President of India is the official authority responsible for appointing judges to the Supreme Court. While the Chief Justice of India initiates the process and the President acts after consultation with a collegium of the four senior-most judges, the final warrant of appointment is issued by the President. This system ensures judicial independence while maintaining a formal role for the executive branch in the appointment process.
