Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Education

Explanation

In the Indian Constitution, to strengthen the federal structure, subjects were allocated for the Union and the States and divided into the Union List, State List and Concurrent List. Education was initially included in the State List. However, considering its equal importance for both the Union and the States, it was placed in the Concurrent List by Section 57 of the Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976.
