(D) She had been the chief minister of Maharashtra about a decade back

Answer 1

Hint: Pranitha Devisingh Patil is the daughter of Narayan Rao Patil. She was born on December 19, 1934, in Nagaon Village, Jalgaon District, and Maharashtra, India. She was first educated at R. R. Vidyalaya in Jalgaon and was subsequently awarded a master's degree in political science and economics by Mooljee Jaitha College in Jalgaon.

Complete answer:
MS Pratibha Devi Singh Patil: Patil was announced as a candidate for the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) on June 14, 2007. After the coalition’s left-wing parties disagreed with the nomination of former cabinet ministers Shivraj Patil or Karan Singh, she became a compromise candidate. Patil has been loyal to INC and the Nehru-Gandhi family for decades.
Although Patil stated that she has no intention of serving as "Rubber Stamp President", this is considered an important factor in the choice of INC leader Sonia Gandhi. In the same month she was selected as UPA Patil, she was accused of blocking her brother GN Patil in the 2005 Vishram Patil murder case. Vislam Patil (Vishal Patil) almost defeated . When Patil ran for the chairman of the Jargon District Council Committee, he was murdered in September of that year.
 Vishram Patil’s widow eventually charged GN Patil with suspicion of a crime and claimed that Pratibha Patil had influenced criminal investigations and requested that this issue be studied before the President’s immunity takes effect. Her charges were rejected by the court in 2009[12], but G. N. Patil was sued in 2015. No mention is made of Pratibha Patil's alleged involvement.
Thus, the option (A) is correct.

Note: During her political career, Pratibha Patil was known for her loyalty to the party's National Congress of India. Her position in the ceremony for the President of India (2007-12) was relatively quiet, but this was not without controversy, especially because she had doubts about the use of government funds.
