Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Entry 5 of the Concurrent List expressly includes marriage and divorce, infants and minors, adoption, wills, intestacy and succession, joint family and partition, and matters previously governed by personal law. Both Parliament and State legislatures therefore have competence over this family-law field, subject to the constitutional rules on repugnancy. The Union and State Lists are not the designated family-law entry.
