The correct answer is option 1: The Governor. The Governor has the power to annul or suspend Acts and Resolutions of the Autonomous District and Regional Councils. Autonomous District and Regional Councils are self-governing bodies established under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India. These councils have legislative powers to make laws and resolutions for the administration and governance of their respective areas.

However, the power of the Governor to annul or suspend Acts and Resolutions of these councils acts as a check and balance mechanism. If the Governor believes that an Act or Resolution passed by these councils is unconstitutional or against the interest of the state or the country, they have the power to annul it or suspend its operation.

It is important to note that while the Governor has the power to annul or suspend Acts and Resolutions, this power is not absolute. The Governor must exercise this power judiciously and within the framework of the Constitution.
