Solution

The correct option is B Governor
The Governor is the ‘Head of State’ in every state government. Much like the distinction between the President and the Prime Minister, the Governor holds ceremonial powers while the Chief Minister holds executive powers. This position is one of great prestige, and the Governor is expected to be impartial and just in the exercise of his duties.
It is the President of India who appoints the Governor of every state.
