(b) That's wrong. 

You were asked to select the incorrect statement.

It is also true that the monarch’s representatives are the formal ‘heads of state’ of the Australian Commonwealth and the Australian States.

It is true that, at federal level, the King’s representative in Australia called a ‘Governor General’ and that, at state level, the King’s representative is called a ‘Governor’. 

It is wrong to say that the monarch’s representatives in Australian governments have purely ceremonial roles and that they have no executive or legislative powers.  As representatives of the crown, the Governor General and Governors have important constitutional powers.
