President Of India Has Position Similar To

A: British Queen
B: American President
C: German Chancellor
D: U.K. Prime Minister

The answer is: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A: British Queen.

The President of India holds a position similar to that of the British Queen as both are constitutional heads of state and perform mostly ceremonial roles. The President of India is the head of the state and represents India in international affairs, while the Prime Minister is the head of the government and holds the executive power to run the country. Similarly, the British Queen is the head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of the government in the United Kingdom.

Although the President of India has some powers and responsibilities, such as appointing the Prime Minister, judges, and ambassadors, and signing bills into law, most of these powers are exercised on the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. Hence, the President's powers are limited, and the position is mostly ceremonial. Similarly, the British Queen's powers are mostly ceremonial and symbolic, and the position is considered to be above party politics.
