Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct

The President is bestowed with certain military powers. He is the Supreme Commander of the defence forces of India, so he appoints the chiefs of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. Any declaration of war or conclusion of peace is made in the President's name, although both are subject to the approval of the Parliament.
