The correct option is D Law and order
According to Delhi High Court ruling, the Lieutenant Governor has executive powers wider than the discretion which is exercised by a governor of a state. Delhi High Court has also held that the Lieutenant Governor while exercising such powers and discharging such functions which “any law” requires to be done “in his discretion,” may act on his own judgment without seeking aid and advice of the council of ministers.
