    Correct Answer
    A. The Premier is the leader of the province's ruling party and heads the provincial government.
    Explanation
    The Premier of a Canadian province is the head of the provincial government and holds the highest political office within the province. As the leader of the majority party (or the party that has the confidence of the legislature), the Premier exercises executive powers, sets policy direction, and oversees the administration of government affairs and departments. This role is not ceremonial like that of the Lieutenant Governor, nor is it solely focused on education or the justice system, although the Premier does have influence over these areas as part of their broader leadership and policy-making responsibilities.
