The correct answer is option 3, Article 167 of the Indian Constitution. Article 167 outlines the duties of the Chief Minister of a state in India. It specifies that it is the duty of the Chief Minister to communicate with the Governor of the state and aid and advise the Governor in the exercise of his powers and functions. The article also states that the Chief Minister shall furnish any information which the Governor may call for relating to the administration of the affairs of the state and submit proposals for legislation to the Governor. It is important to note that while the Chief Minister has a range of duties outlined in Article 167, the actual powers and responsibilities of the Chief Minister may vary from state to state.
