Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In August 1984, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao was controversially dismissed by Governor Ram Lal (not Kumudben Joshi, who succeeded Ram Lal as Governor of Andhra Pradesh in November 1985 after N.T. Rama Rao’s reinstatement). The other three pairs—Governor Dharma Vira dismissing Ajoy Mukherjee in West Bengal (1967), Gopala Reddy dismissing Charan Singh in UP (1970), and Romesh Bhandari dismissing Kalyan Singh in UP (1998)—are historically matched.
