D Correct answer
Explanation

The President of India has constitutional authority but acts in a nominal/ceremonial capacity. 'Constitutional' refers to powers derived from the Constitution, while 'nominal' indicates they are exercised on ministerial advice. 'Titular' is close but less precise; 'de jure' refers to legal position rather than practical role.
