Correct Answer:
C. Both Parliament and State Legislature
Explanation:
The Concurrent List, or List-III in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution, contains subjects of shared importance where both the Parliament and State Legislatures have the authority to create laws. According to Article 246, this arrangement allows for national uniformity in essential legal matters while providing states the flexibility to address regional needs. Common examples of subjects in this list include education, marriage, and forests. If a conflict arises between a central law and a state law regarding a Concurrent List subject, the law passed by Parliament typically takes precedence under the doctrine of repugnancy (Article 254). Since the power is vested in both governing bodies, the correct answer is the option indicating both the Parliament and State Legislature.
