- D Minister President ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
In Germany’s federal states (Länder), the head of government is called the Ministerpräsident (female: Ministerpräsidentin). Thüringen is a German state, so its government leader holds this title, not terms like Premierminister or Bürgermeister (mayor).
Tips
- Federal states use ‘Ministerpräsident’ as the standard title.
- ‘Premierminister’ is not used in Germany.
- ‘Bürgermeister’ is for cities, not Länder.
- Look for the constitutional term shared by most Länder.
