N. Sanjiva Reddy
Correct Answer:
C. S. Radhakrishnan
Explanation:
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan succeeded Rajendra Prasad to become the second President of India, serving from 1962 to 1967. Before his presidency, he served as the country's first Vice President. While figures like V.V. Giri, Giani Zail Singh, and Neelam Sanjiva Reddy also held the office of President, they did so in later years. Radhakrishnan's transition to the presidency marked the first time a Vice President moved directly into the role of Head of State in India.
