Answer 4

From this part of the Georgia Constitution, the conclusion that can be drawn is:

B) The Governor can only serve two terms in office.

The paragraph states that a Governor may hold office for a term of four years and until a successor is chosen. They may also succeed themselves for one four-year term. However, after serving as Governor and succeeding themselves, they are not eligible to be elected to that office again until after four years from the conclusion of their term.

This implies that there is a limit of two terms for a Governor in Georgia.
