The correct answer is option 1, the President of India. The President of India is responsible for appointing the Prime Minister. After a general election, the party or coalition that has the majority of seats in the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) nominates their candidate for Prime Minister. The President then appoints that candidate as the Prime Minister. This process is known as the appointment of the Prime Minister. The Chief Justice of India, option 2, is the head of the judicial branch and is not involved in appointing the Prime Minister. The Attorney General of India, option 3, is the chief legal advisor to the government but does not have the authority to appoint the Prime Minister. The Governor, option 4, is the head of a state in India and does not have the power to appoint the Prime Minister.
