(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(B), (C) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C) and (D) only

(A) Banking: This is a subject of the Union List. Since banking is a matter of national importance and requires uniform policy across the country, only the Central Government (Parliament) has the power to legislate on it.

(B) Education: This is a subject of the Concurrent List. It was originally in the State List but was moved to the Concurrent List via the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976.

(C) Forest: This is a subject of the Concurrent List. Like education, it was moved from the State List to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976.

(D) Trade Unions: This is a subject of the Concurrent List. Both the Centre and the States can legislate on matters involving industrial and labor disputes and trade unions.
