d) chief minister

Answer 1

President can dimiss the Election Commission of Odisha

Answer 2

The correct answer should be the option C - The President.

The Chief Election Commissioner is elected by the President. The Election Commissioners of states are supposedly elected by the respective State Governors.

According to the Under 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment acts, the State Election Commissioners play a role in conducting the elections to the panchayats and to the municipalities.

The respective State Governors will elect the members of the State Election Commission. However, they cannot remove them from their position. The President who has the highest elective office in India has the power to dismiss the State Election Commissioner on genuine grounds in a regulated manner.
