पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B (Statement (a) is false (b) is correct).

Key Points:
• Statement (a) is false: Under Article 258(1) of the Constitution, the President may entrust executive functions of the Union to a State Government or its officers ONLY 'with the consent of the Government of that State' (not without its consent). (Note that under Article 258(2), Parliament can confer powers via law without state consent, but the President under clause (1) requires consent).
• Statement (b) is correct: Under Article 258A (inserted by the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956), the Governor of a State may, 'with the consent of the Government of India', entrust to that Government or its officers functions relating to any matter to which the executive power of the State extends.
• Thus, Statement (a) is false and Statement (b) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: Under Art. 258(1) the President requires State consent to delegate functions; under Art. 258A the Governor requires Union consent.
