Answer 1

Hint: We will discuss federation. In Federation self-governing States there as well as division of power exist between them and the central government. Powers are vested in States also which can be exercised by invoking the central governments constitutional authority to ensure peace and good government.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss in detail.Our Constitution is both federal and unitary. It is federal in structure but unitary in spirit. Its very first federal feature is that it is a union of the 28 States and 7 Union Territories. Our Constitution selected also possesses some other federal characteristics, e.g., ma, Rajya a written and a rigid Constitution, division of powers between the Centre and the States, bicameral ritution, Parliament and an independent judiciary with power may of judicial review.But at the same time unitary features are more prominent, e.g., a single Constitution for the Centre and the States, State Governor's appointment by the to the President, Centre's vast powers on 97 subjects in possesses the Union List, Centre's right to interfere in the State creed, administration, emergency powers of the President and above all the financial dependence of the States himself on the Centre. So India has been called quasi-federal.We have a Quasi federal system of government which means a federal system with a strong Central Government. It is similar to that of in Canada, we have adopted the idea of residual powers from Canada.
So, the correct answer is option D.

Note: Federation is a form of government in which a sovereign power is normally divided into a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region has some of the control over its internal affairs.
