Correct Answer:
A. Article 41
The question asks about the constitutional article that designates the President as the Head of State. In a parliamentary republic like Pakistan, the President holds a largely ceremonial role as the Head of State, symbolizing the unity and integrity of the country, while the Prime Minister acts as the Head of Government.
Article 41 of the Constitution of Pakistan explicitly states that there shall be a President of Pakistan who shall be the Head of State. This article outlines the qualifications, election process, and fundamental role of the President within the constitutional framework, making it the correct answer.
- Article 90 pertains to the exercise of the Federal Government's executive authority, which is primarily vested in the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, not the President as Head of State.
- Article 370 is an article from the Constitution of India, specifically related to the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, and is entirely irrelevant to the Constitution of Pakistan.
- Therefore, 'None of these' is incorrect, as Article 41 precisely addresses the question.
