Explanation

The President appoints the Governor of a State on the advice of the Prime Minister (Article 157). While the Governor acts as the constitutional head of the state, the appointment is made by the central government, typically on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The Vice-President has no role in gubernatorial appointments, and the State Chief Minister is merely consulted in practice, not constitutionally.
