पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B ((a) statement is correct and (b), (c), (d) statements are wrong.).

Key Points:
• Constitutional Provisions Governing the Governor:
• Statement (a) is correct: Part VI, Articles 153 to 167 of the Constitution deal with the State Executive (Governor, Chief Minister, Council of Ministers, and Advocate General).
• Statement (b) is incorrect: The Governor is appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal under Article 155, NOT Article 153 (Article 153 merely says *"There shall be a Governor for each State"*).
• Statement (c) is incorrect: The landmark Supreme Court ruling (*Hargovind Pant v. Dr. Raghukul Tilak*) holding that the office of the Governor is an independent constitutional office was delivered in 1979, not 1978.
• Statement (d) is incorrect: The appointment of the same person as Governor for two or more states was facilitated by the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956, not the 6th Amendment.
• Hence, only statement (a) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: State executive spans Articles 153–167; Governor appointment is under Art. 155, and dual governorship was added by the 7th Amendment.
