Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Ideal for large countries

Explanation

Major features of a unitary form of government include centralisation of power, quick decision-making, a flexible constitution, a single judiciary, uniformity of law throughout the territory, single citizenship, provisions for emergency, etc. However, it is not necessary that such a system is ideal for large countries.
