Solution

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d) – To promote unity of the country and to accommodate regional diversity. Hence, two aspects are very important for the practice of federalism.

There should be an agreement between Governments at different levels regarding some rules of power sharing. The Governments at different levels should abide by the agreement and trust each other. In an ideal system of Federalism two aspects are important – agreement to live together and have mutual trust.

The balance of power between the state governments and central government varies from one federation to another federation. The historical context behind the formation of the federation is responsible for the difference in balance of power.
