Model Answer

(B) Vertical division of power

Explanation

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.
