Explanation

The correct answer is A because each article matches its respective constitutional provision as follows: Article 54 deals with the election of the President of India by an electoral college. Article 75 specifies that the Prime Minister shall be appointed by the President and other ministers shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. Article 155 states that the Governor of a State shall be appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal. Article 164 provides for the appointment of the Chief Minister by the Governor and other ministers on the advice of the Chief Minister. Since each Roman numeral matches the corresponding letter in sequence I-A, II-B, III-C, and IV-D, option A is the correct choice.
