Model Answer

(C) Concurrent List

'Education' is a subject in the Concurrent List, on which both the Union Government and State Governments can make laws.

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.
