The correct answer is C. The doctrine of ‘Separation of Powers’ refers to the division of the powers of the state into three distinct branches: the Legislature (which makes laws), the Executive (which implements laws), and the Judiciary (which interprets laws and administers justice).
Separation of Powers is a fundamental principle aimed at preventing the concentration of power in a single body and ensuring checks and balances.
While India follows a system of ‘separation of functions’ rather than strict separation of powers, the three branches – Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary – are the core components whose distinct roles are defined by the Constitution. Options A, B, and D list components within these branches or individuals holding positions, not the branches themselves as defined by the doctrine.
