Model Answer

(C) System of reserved constituencies for scheduled castes and women in legislatures

This represents power sharing among social groups. Reserved constituencies give weaker sections and women a share in governmental power.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states that power shared among different social groups — such as the system of reserved constituencies for SCs, STs, and women in legislatures — is an example of community/social group power sharing. Option A is judiciary checking executive (horizontal/checks & balances). Option B is states demanding revenue share (vertical/federal). Option D is political party alliance (among political parties). Only C matches social group power sharing.
