The correct answer is option 2, which states that the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution of India deals with the allocation of seats in the Council of States.

The Council of States, also known as the Rajya Sabha, is the upper house of the Indian Parliament. It represents the states and union territories of India, and its members are elected by the members of the State Legislative Assemblies. The Fourth Schedule provides details about the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha to different states and union territories.

Option 1, provisions related to the administration of tribal areas, is incorrect. Provisions related to tribal areas are covered under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution, which deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas.

Option 3, the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List, is also incorrect. The division of powers between the central government and the state governments is covered under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, which lists the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List.

Option 4, recognized languages of the Union of India, is not applicable to the Fourth Schedule. The Eighth Schedule of the Constitution deals with the recognition of official languages of the Union.

Alert - correct answer should be option 2.
