The correct option is B.

The Constitution of India places subjects under three lists: Union List, State List, and Concurrent List. The Union List contains subjects on which only the Parliament can legislate. The State List contains subjects on which only the State Legislatures can legislate under normal circumstances. The Concurrent List contains subjects on which both the Parliament and the State Legislatures can legislate.

Article 246 of the Constitution deals with the subject matter of laws made by Parliament and by the Legislatures of States, specifying the subjects in the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List. In case of a conflict between a central law and a state law on a subject in the Concurrent List, the central law generally prevails (Article 254), unless the state law has received the assent of the President.
