Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Govind Ballabh Pant
Govind Ballabh Pant, who had been Premier of the United Provinces, became the first Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh when the province was renamed in 1950, and held the office until 1954.
He later served as Union Home Minister and was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1957. Sarojini Naidu was the Governor of the United Provinces at the time, not its Chief Minister.
