Solution

The correct option is B Acceptance of the central and state governments
The jurisdiction of the respective tiers of the federation is guaranteed by the Constitution. It also specifies the existence and authority of each tier of government. The changes in the provision of the constitution need the acceptance of both the central and state governments. When disputes arise between the different tiers of the federation, the courts intervene and resolve the differences based on the Constitution.
