• A. Dual citizenship
• B. Dual judiciary
• C. Sharing power between states and centre
• D. A written Constitution

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sharing power between states and centre

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.

In India, we have a three-tier government, i.e. government at the central level, state level and local level.
