The correct answer is option 3: Centre and States, by the Concurrent List of the Constitution. Under the Constitution of India, there are three lists that categorize the powers and responsibilities of the Centre and the States. These lists are known as the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List.
The Union List consists of subjects on which only the Central Government has the authority to make laws. The State List consists of subjects on which only the State Governments have the authority to make laws. The Concurrent List consists of subjects on which both the Centre and the States have the authority to make laws.
Civil affairs like marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc., fall under the Concurrent List. This means that both the Centre and the States have the power to make laws on these matters. It allows for coordination and cooperation between the Centre and the States in legislating on civil affairs.
