Answer 2

The correct option is- B. I, II & IV.

• In a federal state, powers are equally distributed between centre and state.
• In India, there is an unequal division of powers between centre and states. Hence, it is called a quasi-federal state.
• In India, centre is more powerful than the states. The Centre has the power to legislate on important subjects such as defence, railways and currency.
• The centre has the power to make laws on residuary subjects. Besides this, if there is a clash between centre and state regarding their laws on subjects of the concurrent list, then the centre's law will prevail.
