पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option C ((a) and (d)).

Key Points:
• Tenure and Removal of the Governor (Article 156):
• Article 156(1): The Governor holds office during the pleasure of the President. Under the constitutional scheme (Article 74), the President acts on the aid and advice of the Union Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. Hence, dismissal by the President on the advice of the PM/Union Cabinet terminates tenure early -> Statement (a) is correct.
• Resignation: Under Article 156(2), the Governor may resign their office at any time by writing under their hand addressed to the President -> Statement (d) is correct.
• No Role for CM or CJI: Neither the Chief Minister of the State nor the Chief Justice of India has any constitutional standing or power to advise the President on the dismissal of a Governor. Statements (b) and (c) are completely incorrect.
• The tenure may terminate earlier through (a) and (d).
• Option (3) is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Governor's tenure can end early via resignation or dismissal by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister/Union Cabinet.
