The correct option is D) nowhere.
The Constitution of India describes India as a “Union of States” in Article 1. Although the Indian political system exhibits features of both federal and unitary governments (often described as quasi-federal), the term “Federal” is not explicitly used in the text of the Constitution.
The Constitution establishes a dual polity with distinct powers for the Union and State governments (federal feature), but also vests significant powers with the Centre, providing for a strong unitary bias. Legal scholars and the Supreme Court have described the Indian system in various ways, but the foundational document itself avoids using the term ‘federal’.
