Correct Answer: Appoint the prime minister


Solution : The correct option is to Appoint the prime minister .

In certain circumstances, the President of India has the discretionary ability to choose the prime minister. Article 75 of the Indian Constitution specifies that the prime minister is nominated by the president, although the president must pick the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha. When no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the president can pick the prime minister using his judgement.
