All of the above

The correct answer is D. All of the above.

The Parliament of India is not a sovereign body because it has to operate within the limits prescribed by the Constitution. The Constitution of India is the supreme law of the land and all laws passed by Parliament must be consistent with the Constitution. If a law passed by Parliament is found to be unconstitutional, the Supreme Court can declare it null and void.

The Parliament of India can only legislate on subjects entrusted to the Centre by the Constitution. The Constitution lists out the subjects that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Parliament, as well as the subjects that are within the concurrent jurisdiction of the Parliament and the state legislatures. The Parliament cannot legislate on any subject that is not listed in the Constitution.

The Supreme Court can declare laws passed by Parliament as unconstitutional if they contravene the provisions of the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the highest court in India and has the power to strike down laws that it finds to be unconstitutional. This power is known as the power of judicial review.
