DOnly 3 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Only 3 — The impeachment-like process is required only for the CAG, so the answer is only 3.
Explanation
★The impeachment-like process is required only for the CAG, so the answer is only 3.
★The CAG is removed by the same special process as a Supreme Court judge, through an address by Parliament.
★This is also the process for the President, the judges and the Chief Election Commissioner.
★The Vice-President is removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha agreed to by the Lok Sabha, a different process.
★The Governor holds office during the pleasure of the President and can simply be removed.
★The Attorney General also holds office during the pleasure of the President.
★So only the CAG requires the judge-like address procedure.
