The correct answer is Option 3 - Seventh Schedule
The Seventh Schedule divides legislative powers between the Union and the States by listing subjects under three categories: Union List (List I): Contains 100 subjects (originally 97) over which the Union Parliament has exclusive power to make laws. These include national defense, foreign affairs, currency, communication, railways, etc. State List (List II): Includes 61 subjects (originally 66) for which the State Legislatures have the power to make laws. These encompass public order, police, agriculture, local government, etc. Concurrent List (List III): Lists 52 subjects (originally 47) where both the Union Parliament and the State Legislatures can make laws. However, in case of a conflict, the Union law prevails. Examples include education, forests, electricity, etc. |
