Model Answer
The correct answer is (B) I-b, II-c, III-a, IV-d.
Banking → Union List; Police → State List; Trade Union → Concurrent List; Internet → Residuary List.
Explanation
- Union List contains subjects of national importance like defence, banking, and foreign affairs (controlled by Central Government).
- State List includes subjects of local/state concern like police, agriculture, and public health.
- Concurrent List has subjects where both Centre and States can legislate, such as education, forests, and trade unions.
- Residuary powers (subjects not mentioned in any list, like internet/cyber law) vest with the Central Government in India.
- This is a standard chapter 2 (Federalism) concept — remember these examples for board exams.
