The power to dissolve the state legislative assembly typically rests with the Governor of the state, who may act on the advice of the Chief Minister or the Cabinet. However, the final decision on dissolution ultimately rests with the President of India, who can approve or reject the request based on constitutional provisions. The CM cannot unilaterally dissolve the assembly to avoid a vote of no confidence. hence option D is correct.
