Solution

The correct option is B Legislative power
The President is an integral part of the Parliament. In this regard he has certain legislative powers. Article 123 of the Constitution empowers the president to issue/promulgate ordinances during the recess of the Parliament. The ordinance making power of the President is not a parallel power of the legislation. It is held to be the legislative power of the President by the Supreme court of India.
