Solution

The correct option is A To advice to Government of India upon legal matters
The Attorney General of India is the highest law officer of the country. He is responsible to assist the government in all its legal matters. The President appoints the Attorney General (AG). The person who is appointed should be qualified to be appointed a judge of the Supreme Court. Hence, Option A is correct. Since, his power is limited to Central Government, the rest of the options are not applicable.
