All of the above

The correct answer is D. All of the above.

The Lieutenant Governor of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is the head of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. He is appointed by the President of India on the advice of the Central Government. The Lieutenant Governor has extensive powers, including the power to prorogue the House, dissolve the Legislative Assembly, appoint the Chief Minister, and dismiss the Council of Ministers.

The Lieutenant Governor can prorogue the House, which means to end the session of the Legislative Assembly. He can also dissolve the Legislative Assembly, which means to end the term of the Assembly and call for fresh elections. The Lieutenant Governor appoints the Chief Minister, who is the head of the Council of Ministers. The Lieutenant Governor can also dismiss the Council of Ministers, which means to remove the Chief Minister and his cabinet from office.

The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are extensive, but they are not absolute. The Central Government can overrule the Lieutenant Governor’s decisions, and the Legislative Assembly can pass laws that override the Lieutenant Governor’s orders.
