Correct answer: A

- "All executive action of the Government of a State shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the Governor," according to Article 166(1) of the Indian Constitution.
- This means that although while the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers actually hold the executive authority, any executive decision or action taken by the state government is technically carried out in the name of the Governor.
- It guarantees that the governor will continue to serve as the state government's symbolic leader.
