The power of Parliament to form new States or alteration of areas and boundaries is drawn from:

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 3 directly empowers Parliament to create States and alter their areas, boundaries or names. Article 4 supports the consequential constitutional and administrative adjustments, so the power is not derived from Article 246’s legislative-list allocation. An affected State legislature is asked for its views under the prescribed procedure, rather than granted a veto.
