Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) The President of India
Under Article 155 the Governor is appointed by the President by a warrant under his hand and seal, on the advice of the Union government, and holds office during the pleasure of the President. The Chief Minister may be consulted by convention but does not appoint, the Chief Justice of the High Court only administers the oath to the Governor, and the Prime Minister advises, but does not appoint.
