The correct answer is (a) Article 166.
Article 166 of the Constitution of India deals with the Chief Minister and other Ministers. It states that the Chief Minister shall be appointed by the Governor and the other Ministers shall be appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister. The Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly of the State.
Sub-clause (3) of Article 166 states that the Governor shall have the right to be kept informed by the Council of Ministers of all decisions of the Council of Ministers relating to the administration of the State and shall have the right to require the Chief Minister to furnish him with information relating to the administration of the State.
This means that the Governor has a right to be informed by the State Cabinet of its decisions. The Governor can also require the Chief Minister to furnish him with information relating to the administration of the State.
Option (b), Article 167, deals with the appointment of Ministers other than the Chief Minister. Option (c), Article 168, deals with the salaries and allowances of Ministers. Option (d), Article 169, deals with the oath or affirmation of office by Ministers.
