Solution

The correct option is B Concurrent list and state list

The Constitution of India provides for a division of powers between the Union (Centre) and states. It divides all the subjects into 3 lists - Union List, State List and Concurrent List. The State Legislatures can enact laws for subjects listed under State List and Concurrent List.

State List - It is a list of subjects of state and local importance. These include police, trade, commerce, agriculture, and irrigation. The law relating to these subjects can be made only by the State Governments.

Concurrent List - The Concurrent List contains subjects of common interest to both the Union as well as the States. These include education, forest, trade unions, marriage, adoption, and succession. The law relating to these subjects can be made by both the Central and State Governments.
