All the laws in the country are made and passed in the name of the President of India.Though the President is called the head of the Indian State but he is the nominal executive authority. Hence the head of the State in India is President. This is the correct answer.

Option B: The Prime Minister is the real executive authority. The Prime Minister is the head of the government. According to Article 75, the Prime Minister of India shall be appointed by the president. He is not called the head of the state of india. This is the incorrect answer.
