Answer 1

Hint:The head of the Executive Branch of the Government of India is the Prime Minister of India. The Prime Minister is the Principal Consultant to the President of India and the Head of the Council of Ministers of the Union.

Complete answer:
In a parliamentary structure, the prime minister is the senior-most cabinet official in the government executive. The prime minister chooses and may dismiss cabinet members; allocates posts to government members; and is the cabinet's presiding member and chairperson. They may be a member of one of the two houses of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha Parliament of India, but they must be a member of the political party or alliance with a majority in the Lok Sabha.
In compliance with Article 84 of the Constitution of India, which lays down the basic requirements for members of Parliament, and Article 75 of the Constitution of India, which lays down the qualifications for ministers in the Council of Ministers of the Union, and the statement that the position of prime minister has been defined.
1.A prime minister needs to be an Indian resident.

2.A member of the Lok Sabha or of the Rajya Sabha must be the prime minister. If at the time of appointment, the person chosen as prime minister is neither a member of the Lok Sabha nor of the Rajya Sabha, he must within six months, become a member of any of the houses.

3.A prime minister must be over the age of 25 if he is a member of the Lok Sabha, or over the age of 30 if he is a member of the Rajya Sabha.

4.Under the government of India or the government of another state or under any local or other authority subject to the jurisdiction of any of the aforementioned states, a prime minister should not hold any office of benefit.

From these discussions we can conclude that the minimum age required for becoming the prime minister of India is 25 years.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: In different delegations, high-level meetings and international bodies that include the participation of the highest government office, the prime minister represents the country and also advises the nation on various matters of national or other interest. According to Article 78 of the Constitution, official correspondence between the cabinet of the Union and the President shall take place via the prime minister. The Prime Minister is regarded as a member of the union cabinet by another wise constitution just in the sphere of the union cabinet.
