Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The Constitution does not require consultation with either listed Chief Justice or the State's Chief Minister before removing a Governor. Under Articles 156(1) and 74, the President exercises this power on the advice of the Union Council of Ministers. The power is subject to limits against arbitrary or mala fide removal, so absence of the listed consultation requirement does not make it unrestricted.
