खालील दिलेल्या संकेतातून योग्य उत्तर निवडा:

The correct answer is Option C (Only a and c).

Key Points:
• Article 148 of the Constitution establishes the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG):
• Statement a is correct: The CAG is appointed by the President of India by warrant under his hand and seal.
• Statement c is correct: Under Article 148(1), the CAG can only be removed from office in like manner and on the like grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court—i.e., by an order of the President passed after an address by each House of Parliament supported by a special majority (majority of total membership and not less than 2/3ʳᵈ of members present and voting) on grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.
• Statements b and d are incorrect because neither the Prime Minister nor the Finance Minister has the constitutional power to remove the CAG.
• Thus, only a and c are correct (Option 3).
• Key Takeaway: The CAG is appointed by the President and removed by the President upon an address by both Houses of Parliament with a special majority.
