Correct answer: A

A Parliamentary Secretary in a state is a member of the Legislative Assembly appointed by the Chief Minister to assist ministers in their work. Unlike the Chief Minister and other ministers — who take the oath of office and secrecy before the Governor — a Parliamentary Secretary takes the oath before the Chief Minister, reflecting their role as an aide to the ministers rather than a constitutional office-holder. Therefore, the oath is administered by the Chief Minister.
