Model Answer

D) I-2, II-3, III-1, IV-4

Defence → Union List; Police → State List; Marriage → Concurrent List; Computer Software → Residuary Subjects.

Explanation

The Indian Constitution divides subjects into three lists. Defence is a Union List subject (List I). Police is a State List subject (List II). Marriage falls under the Concurrent List (List III). Computer Software was not listed at the time of Constitution's drafting, so it is a Residuary Subject handled by the Union. Remember: Residuary subjects belong to the Centre by default.
