Solution
The correct option is A President
The Constitution endows the Governor with the executive power of the State. However, the Governor acts as a nominal head, and the real executive powers are exercised by the Chief Minister along with the Council of Ministers. He/she is appointed by the President and holds his office during the pleasure of the latter. A Governor's normal term of office is five years. However, he can be removed by the President at any time without assigning any cause.
