Solution

The correct option is A President of India
The military powers of the President, as specified in the Indian Constitution, are:
He acts as the supreme commander of the Armed Forces
The power to declare war or peace rests with the President
Appoints the Chief of Army, Navy as well as Air Force.
Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the leaders do not have the power to authorize such a decision, hence, incorrect.
