A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 154(1) of the Constitution, the executive power of the State is vested in the Governor and exercised by him either directly or through officers subordinate to him. However, in practice, the Governor acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers (Cabinet), making the Cabinet the real executive authority that exercises governance functions.
