Q1. Who appoints the Chief Secretary of the state government?

A Prime Minister

B Chief Minister Correct

C President

D Governor

Explanation

The Chief Secretary is the senior-most civil servant of a state government and is appointed by the state government under the Chief Minister’s authority. The Prime Minister and the President function at the Union level, so they do not appoint a state’s Chief Secretary. The Governor is the constitutional head of the state, but the administrative choice of Chief Secretary is made by the elected state government headed by the Chief Minister. Thus, the Chief Minister is the appropriate answer here.
