Solution

The correct option is C Distribution of powers between the Centre and State.
A federal system is one where the power resides between the center and states thus the existence of center and states is a main feature of Federalism. India has a synthesis of both systems, the unitary and the federal. Some features such as rigid constitution, strong center, emergency provisions, single citizenship, etc but the distribution of power between center and states signify the feature of federalism.
