Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
India has a federal division of powers through the Union, State and Concurrent Lists, but the Constitution tilts towards the Centre through emergency provisions, residuary powers, All India Services and the Governor's role.
During an Emergency the system can function almost unitarily. This blend is described as federalism with a unitary bias, or a quasi-federal structure.
