Hint: The Prescribed head of state of India and also the Commander in chief of the Indian Soldiers. He/She is elected by an electoral body comprising the parliament of India and also the legislative assemblies of every of India’s states and territories. The Head is bound by the constitution to act on the recommendation of the prime minister and cabinet.

Complete answer:
Option A) Speaker – is an incorrect answer because the Speaker is not the head/top of the Indian Republic and Union. The speaker’s official role is to moderate debate, making rulings on procedure, announce the results of votes, and also the like. The speaker decides who can speak and has the powers to discipline the members.

Option B) Vice President – is an incorrect answer because the Vice President/chairman is not a head of the India republic and Union. The Vice President is the second-highest position in India after the President. The Vice President acts as a President within the absence of the President due to death, resignation, impeachment, or other situations.

Option C) President – is a correct answer because the head of the Indian Republic and Union is President. The President of India is the prescribed head/top of the state of India. The President is elected by an electoral body comprising the parliament of India.

Option D) Supreme Court Judge – is an incorrect answer because Supreme court judges are not the pinnacle of the Indian Republic and therefore the Union. The chief justice is the most important judge of a court of law, and especially a supreme court of the republic of India.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: The President is both the head of state and head of government of the United States of America, and Commander-in-chief of the soldiers.
Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is to blame for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress.
