Who is appointed by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister for a usual term of five years?

the Prime Minister
the Governor General
the Lieutenant Governor
the Commissioner

The correct answer is: the Governor General

The Governor General is appointed by the Sovereign, which is the Queen or King, on the advice of the Prime Minister. This is known as a "usual term" because it is the traditional length of time for a Governor General's term. The other options, A, C, and D, are incorrect because they do not match the criteria mentioned in the question. The Prime Minister is the one giving advice, not being appointed, and the Lieutenant Governor and Commissioner are not appointed by the Sovereign.
