Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Appointed for six years

  • A Governor is appointed for a term of five years, not six.

  • Must be a citizen of India – as per Article 157 of the Constitution.

  • Must be at least 35 years old at the time of appointment.

  • Cannot hold any office of profit during tenure – ensures neutrality.

  • The Governor holds office at the pleasure of the President, so term may end earlier.
