Solution

The correct option is D
The Constitution does not specify the strength of a high court and leaves it to the discretion of the president.

In India, no two states have similar conditions of law and order. Law and order in a particular state are determined by different factors like population, culture, the available natural resources, etc. Thus, Constitution leaves the strength of High Court judges to be fixed by the discretion of the President. The President fixes the strength of judges in the High Court depending on the requirements of that state.
