• B. Can send the bill to the Parliament for reconsideration for the second time
• C. Can submit the same to the people for referendum
• D. Can get it nullified through the Supreme Court

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Has to sign it

After a Bill has been passed by both Houses, it is presented to the President for his assent. The President can assent or withhold his assent to a Bill or he can return a Bill, other than a Money Bill, for reconsideration. If the Bill is again passed by the Houses, with or without amendment made by the President, he shall not withhold assent there from. But, when a Bill amending the Constitution passed by each House with the requisite majority is presented to the President, he shall give his assent thereto.

Hence, A is the correct option.
