Explanation:

There are three Lists which provide for distribution of legislative powers (under 7th Schedule to the Constitution):
Union List (List I) - It contains 98 subjects (originally 97) and comprises the subjects which are of national importance and admit of uniform laws for the whole of the country.

Only the Union Parliament can legislate with respect to these matters e.g. Defence, Foreign Affairs, Banking (Entry no 45), Currency, Union Taxes, etc.

State List (List II) - It contains 59 subjects (originally 66) and comprises subjects of local or State interest.

It lies within the legislative competence of the State Legislatures, viz. Public Order (Entry no 1) and Police (Entry no 2), Health (Entry no 6), Agriculture, Forests, etc.

Entry no 1 and 2 of state list are

Concurrent List (List III) - It contains 52 (Originally 47) with respect to which; both Union Parliament and the State Legislature have concurrent power of legislation.
The Concurrent List (not found in any federal Constitution) was to serve as a device to avoid excessive rigidity to a two-fold distribution.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
