Explanation

The passage explicitly lists Education under the Concurrent List along with forest, trade unions, marriage, etc. A common mistake is choosing the State List — remember, Education was moved to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976). Examiners expect the correct option and, for 1 mark, a brief supporting line is sufficient.
