Answer 1

The correct option is C Divided between a central authority and various constituents

Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country.

Usually, a federation has two levels of government.

One is the government for the entire country that is usually responsible for a few subjects of common national interest. The others are governments at the level of provinces or states that look after much of the day-to-day administering of their state. Both these levels of governments enjoy their power independent of the other.
