• A. Post and Telegram
• B. Prison
• C. Trade and Commerce
• D. Agriculture

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Post and Telegram

• The union legislature can make laws for post and telegrams

• In India, the power to legislate on matters related to post and telegraphs (now largely encompassed by "postal services" and "telecommunications") rests with the Union Parliament.

• This is clearly outlined in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, which distributes legislative powers between the Union (Central) Government and the State Governments.

• Specifically, List I (Union List) contains subjects over which the Union Parliament has exclusive power to make laws.
