Show answer & explanation

Answer: (C) A

Explanation

The Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor (Article 164), not by the Chief Justice of the High Court, so statement A is not true. The Governor appoints ministers on the CM's advice, the CM heads the State Planning Board, and a CM with majority support cannot simply be dismissed.
