    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Exceptions to Parliament's territorial jurisdiction: The Constitution places certain restrictions on the plenary territorial jurisdiction of the Parliament. In other words, the laws of Parliament are not applicable in the following: o Union Territories ? The President can make regulations for the peace, progress, and good government of the four Union Territories—the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu. ? A regulation so made has the same force and effect as an act of Parliament. It may also repeal or amend any act of Parliament in relation to these union territories. o Scheduled area's in the state ? The governor is empowered to direct that an act of Parliament does not apply to a scheduled area in the state or apply with specified modifications and exceptions. o Tribal areas in the state ? The Governor of Assam may likewise direct that an act of Parliament does not apply to a tribal area (autonomous district) in the state or apply with specified modifications and exceptions. ? The President enjoys the same power with respect to tribal areas (autonomous districts) in Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. • Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
