The correct answer is (c). Article 3 of the Constitution gives Parliament the power for the formation of new states.
Article 1 of the Constitution deals with the Union and its territory. Article 2 of the Constitution deals with the states and their territories. Article 4 of the Constitution deals with the admission or establishment of new states. Article 5 of the Constitution deals with the amendment of the Constitution.
Article 3 of the Constitution states that Parliament may by law admit into the Union any territory not forming part of the territory of any existing State, or increase the area of any State, or diminish the area of any State, but no such law shall be passed without the consent of the legislature of the State concerned.
This means that Parliament has the power to create new states by admitting new territories into the Union or by increasing the area of existing states. However, Parliament cannot do this without the consent of the legislature of the state concerned.
