Model Answer
(d) Division of power among Legislative, Executive and Judiciary.
Horizontal power sharing means power is shared among different organs of government at the same level, i.e., legislature, executive, and judiciary.
Explanation
- Horizontal = same level (organs of government); Vertical = different levels (Centre, State, Local).
- Option (a) and (b) are vertical/federal sharing between levels of government.
- Option (c) is incorrect because "Army" is not an independent organ of power sharing in this context; it functions under the executive.
- Examiners look for the correct term "organs of government" linked to horizontal sharing.
