Correct Option (c):

The Order of Precedence in India is a list that specifies the hierarchy of officials and dignitaries for ceremonial and protocol purposes. As per the established order, the Governor of a State, when within his or her own State, ranks at number 4. This position is higher than that of Former Presidents (rank 5), Deputy Prime Minister (rank 6), and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha (rank 7). Therefore, among the given options, the Governor of a State within his State holds the highest rank.

Incorrect Options:

Deputy Prime Minister: The Deputy Prime Minister ranks at number 6 in the Order of Precedence, which is lower than the Governor of a State within his own State (rank 4).
Former Presidents: Former Presidents are placed at number 5 in the Order of Precedence, making their rank lower than that of a Governor within his respective State.
Speaker of the Lok Sabha: The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is positioned at number 7 in the Order of Precedence, which is below the rank of a Governor of a State within his State.
