Answer 1

Hint: In most republics, the president is a common title for the head of state. The functions performed by the president vary according to the form of government. In parliamentary republics, it is usually but not always confined to the head of state, so it is largely ceremonial.

Complete Solution:
South Africa- Mbeki: Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki was born on June 18, 1942, a South African politician, and served as the second president of South Africa from June 16, 1999 to September 24, 2008.
Pakistan- Musharraf: Pervez Musharraf is a Pakistani politician and a retired four-star general. He became the tenth president of Pakistan after the successful military takeover of the federal government in 1999. He served as president from 2001 to 2008, when he offered to resign to avoid impeachment.
Myanmar- Suu Kyi: Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese politician, diplomat, and writer, and won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. She is the first current state counsellor in Myanmar and the leader of the National League for Democracy. She has played a vital role in the state’s transition from military government to partial democracy.
Ghana- Nkrumah: Kwame Nkrumah PC was a politician and revolutionary in Ghana. He was the first prime minister and president of Ghana and led the Gold Coast to independence from Britain in 1957.

Thus the option (D) is correct

Note: The prime minister is the head of the cabinet and the chief minister of the executive branch, often in parliamentary or semi-presidential systems. The Prime Minister determines the overall direction of government activities and ensures the coordination and purposeful work of the Cabinet.
