Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 165.
Article 165 of the Indian Constitution states that the Advocate-General of a State is the chief legal advisor to the State Government. It mandates that the Advocate-General shall provide legal advice to the Governor and State Government on matters referred to him. He also performs legal duties assigned by the Governor. Appointed by the Governor, the Advocate-General must be qualified to be a High Court judge. This position is similar to the Attorney General of India at the central level.
