A Correct answer
Explanation

V.V. Giri served as Acting President in 1969 after Zakir Hussain's death, then later became the full President from 1974-1977. He is indeed the only person to have held both positions. This makes the statement true. Several others have been Acting President (like B.D. Jatti), but none besides Giri later became the elected President.
