Answer 1

The correct option is A a) 1 and 3 only


Answer : A
He appoints the chairman and members of the state public service commission. However, they can be removed only by the president and not by a governor.

The speaker, and not the Governor, decides on the question of disqualification of members of the state legislature in the cases involving anti-defection.

All executive actions of the government of a state are taken in his name.

He can summon or prorogue the state legislature and dissolve the state legislative assembly.
