Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
Mapping of Schedules to subjects:
– 7th Schedule → Union, State and Concurrent lists (legislative subjects)
– 8th Schedule → Languages
– 9th Schedule → Validation of certain Acts/Regulations (laws placed for protection, originally from judicial review; subject to basic structure review post I.R. Coelho, 2007)
– 10th Schedule → Disqualification on ground of defection (anti-defection law)
Therefore: A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2, which matches Option 2.
