Constitution of India

Choose the Correct Answer

Correct Answer : Option c

Explanation
Option (c) is correct: The Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution divides subjects into three lists: Union List, State List, and Concurrent List.
● Health (Subject related to public health) is mentioned in the Concurrent List. Both the Union and State Governments can legislate on matters related to health, although the State Governments primarily manage health services.
● Trade and Commerce is also included in the Concurrent List under Article 246, which allows both the Union and States to legislate on trade and commerce matters in certain contexts.
● Defence is a Union List subject, which means that only the Union Government can legislate on matters related to defence.
● Police is a State List subject, meaning that the States have exclusive authority over policing and law enforcement.
● Education is listed in the Concurrent List, meaning both the Union and State Governments can legislate on educational matters, subject to certain restrictions. The 42nd Amendment Act (1976) added certain aspects of education to the Concurrent List.
