Explanation
Article 167 lays down the Chief Minister's duties: to communicate to the Governor all decisions of the Council of Ministers and proposals for legislation (A), to furnish information the Governor calls for (B), and to submit for the Council's consideration any matter on which the Governor requires it (D). There is no constitutional duty to communicate to the President in a monthly report. Hence option C is the one that is not a duty.
