Solution

The correct option is D Constitution effects division of powers between the Centre and States with safeguards against transgression of jurisdiction
In a federal state the Constitution specifically divides the powers between the Centre and States with safeguards against transgression of jurisdiction. A federal government is a system in which power is divided between a central, larger government, and the local, regional, or state governments beneath it.
For example: The Central Government in Canada was given important enumerated powers as well as the residuary power(unlike the U.S. states, which was given only residuary power).
