Solution

The correct option is D Union List
The Union List consists of subjects pertaining to matters of national importance. The Union government alone can make the laws pertaining to this list. This list consists of subjects that need uniform policy throughout the country. They include matters like foreign affairs, banking, communications, and currency. The Census is a subject of national relevance, as is inter-state migration. Similarly, laws regarding the Election Commission of India can only be made by the Union.
