Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Attorney-General of India (AG) is the highest law officer in the country, appointed by the President under Article 76 [1]. To be eligible, the AG must possess the same qualifications as a Judge of the Supreme Court, including being a citizen and having served as a High Court judge for five years or an advocate for ten years [2]. Under Articles 88 and 105, the AG has the right to speak and participate in the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament and their committees, though without the right to vote [1]. Additionally, the AG enjoys the right of audience in all courts across India [1]. However, the AG is not a whole-time counsel for the Government nor a government servant; they are not debarred from private legal practice, provided they do not represent interests against the Government of India [1].
