A
Correct answer
Explanation
Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the first President of India and served two consecutive terms from 1950 to 1962. This is indeed a unique distinction as most subsequent Presidents served one term, though the presidency is designed for possible re-election. Dr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed and Dr. Zakir Hussain also served as Presidents but did not complete two full terms.
