Solution

The correct option is C India and United States of America
‘Coming together’ federations include the USA, Switzerland and Australia. In this first category of federations, all the constituent States usually have equal power and are strong vis-à-vis the federal government.
India, Spain and Belgium are examples of ‘holding together’ federations. In this second category, the central government tends to be more powerful vis-à-vis the States.
