Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 17(4) states that no person shall be enrolled as an advocate on the roll of more than one State Bar Council, so "He cannot". If he wants to move, his route is a transfer of his name under Section 18. In any case, enrolment on one State roll already lets him practise throughout India under Section 30.
