(B) Vertical division of power
The textbook (Chapter 2) explicitly states that "vertical division of power among different levels of government is one of the major forms of power-sharing in modern democracies" and directly links this to federalism in India. Horizontal division refers to power-sharing among organs of government (legislature, executive, judiciary) — a different concept entirely.
