Solution

The correct option is C There is no separation of powers between branches of government
A federal government is a type of government in which power is divided between the central government and the regional governments. The Indian Constitution gives federal structure to the nation by specifying the distribution of powers between the central government and the states in Part XI. The Supreme Court is entrusted with the responsibility of interpreting these provisions and arbitrating in matters of dispute. Some examples of federal state are the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, etc.
