Answer 1

Hint:The governor of India is considered as the executive head of the state. He holds the office of governor for a term of five years and he is appointed by the President of India by warrant under his hand and seal.

Complete answer:
 The Governor, in regard to ordinary bills may give his assent to the bill so that the bill becomes an act. He may also withhold his assent to the bill which will then end and not become an act. He may also reserve the bill for the consideration or assent of the President.
The governor may also return the bill for reconsideration of the House or Houses. If the bill is passed by the House with or without amendments and presented to the governor for his assent, the governor must give his assent to the bill. Thus the governor here enjoys a suspensive veto.
Even in terms of money bill, after it has been passed by the state legislature, it is presented to the governor for his assent to which he has three alternatives which may include his assent for the bill, withholding it or reserving the bill for the final consideration of the President.
The governor is also empowered to refuse from inviting a leader of party in the Vidhan Sabha who does not command the majority in the house or has failed to prove his majority. The speaker of the Vidhan Sabha and the chairman of the Vidhan Parishad are the presiding officers of their respective houses. They are removed according to the procedure provided by the Constitution.The Governor may dismiss the speaker of the Vidhan Sabha and the Chairman of Vidhan Parishad.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:The governor of a state possesses or exercises executive, legislative, financial and judicial powers more or less similar to the President of India. However, he does not have any diplomatic, military or emergency power like that of the president.
