Explanation:

The division of power between the Central and State Governments is done in a three fold distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the State Governments. There are three lists - Union List, State List and Concurrent List. Hence option 2nd is correct.
(i) Union List: It includes subjects of national importance, e.g., defence of the country.
(ii) State List: It consists subjects of state and local importance such as police, trade, commerce, agriculture and irrigation.
(iii) Concurrent List: It includes those subjects which are of common interest to both the Central as well as State Governments. It includes matters like education, forests, marriage and trade unions.
