Option B

Three legislative lists

Solution :

The correct option is Three legislative lists.


Explanation:

Schedule VII (Seventh Schedule) of the Constitution of India deals with the division of powers between the Union (Central Government) and the States. It specifies the distribution of legislative subjects into three distinct lists:


1. Union List (List I): Contains subjects of national importance on which only the Parliament of India can enact laws (e.g., Defense, Foreign Affairs, Railways, Banking).

2. State List (List II): Contains subjects of state and local importance on which the respective State Legislatures can make laws (e.g., Public Order, Police, Public Health, Agriculture).

3. Concurrent List (List III): Contains subjects of common interest to both the Union and the States, where both Parliament and State Legislatures can legislate (e.g., Education, Forests, Marriage, Adoption). In case of a conflict, Union law prevails over State law.
