D Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks which statement is INCORRECT. Article 361 provides immunity to Governors - they are not answerable in court for official acts, and cannot face criminal proceedings during their term. However, they CAN face civil/legal proceedings for personal acts outside official duties. Option D is too absolute and therefore incorrect.
