Complete answer:
Option A - Appointing ministers at various levels is one of the supreme functions which is to be performed by the State Government. In the Constitution of India each state has a head, i.e. the Governor who is appointed by the President of India. He can serve for a period of two to four years who is responsible for making appointments to the state agencies and ministers at various levels for the smooth functioning of the state. In case of death, resignation or termination he has to perform his duties in appointing a new officer so that the working of the nation does not get disturbed.
