    Legislature possesses concurrent powers as enumerated in which List of the Seventh Schedule?
    A List I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B List IV Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C List II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D List III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The State Legislature has concurrent powers as detailed in List III (Concurrent List) of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. Both Parliament and State Legislatures can enact laws on subjects included in this list. However, in cases of conflict between laws passed by Parliament and State Legislatures, the Parliamentary legislation prevails. For reference, List I (Union List) contains subjects exclusively under Parliamentary jurisdiction, List II (State List) includes matters solely under State Legislature authority, and there is no List IV in the Seventh Schedule.
