Solution

The correct option is A President
The President is often referred to as the De Jure head of the Indian State in contrast to the Prime Minister, who is referred to as the de facto head. This is because the President is the head of the State, not of the Government. Also, India does not have Presidential form of Government. Finally, he can act only according to the advice of Prime Minister and his council.
