Hint:Speaker is the chairman of the Legislative Assembly from the ruling party of state and the speaker is the principal spokesman of the House. The speaker regulates the debates and proceedings of the House.

Complete answer:
The Speaker of the House of the Legislative Assembly of a state submits his resignation to the governor of the state. The Governor of the state is a body nominated by the president.
And the representatives of the house as speaker communicates the decision of the houses to the authorities concerned. Also communicate to the house letters and documents addressed to him. He can also issue the word to execute the order of the House. Speaker also determines whether a bill is a money bill or not.
As the speaker submits his resignation to the Governor, let's talk about the governor.
The governor of a state is appointed by the president. A person to become a Governor should be a citizen of India and has completed the age of 35. Maximum tenure of governor is 5 years.

Hence the correct option is B.

Note:Speaker is an elected body of the assembly. Speaker is elected by the members of the assembly and requires 51% of the votes to become a speaker. As a majority of the members in the assembly are from the ruling party that's why the speaker is always from the ruling party.
