Solution

The correct option is A The Governor of a State may, with consent of Central Government, entrust either conditionally or unconditionally to that Government or to its officers functions in relation to any matter to which the executive power of the State extends
The Constitution of India also made provisions for mutual delegation of power and function between Center and State. Accordingly, the President may, with the Consent of the State Government, entrust to that government any of the executive functions of the Centre.
Conversely, the governor of a state may, with the consent of the Central government, entrust to that government any of the executive function of the State. This mutual delegation of executive function can be conditional or unconditional.
