Explanation:

Constitution of India has specifically vested the residuary power as an exclusive head of power in the Union by entry 97 of List I of the Seventh Schedule and Article 248 of the Constitution. These powers are neither under the legislative powers of the State nor the Union. Parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent List or State List. Such power shall include the power of making any law imposing a tax not mentioned in either of those Lists. Hence option 1st is correct.
