Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Article 257
Article 257 states that the executive power of every State shall be exercised so as not to impede the Union’s executive power; it also empowers the Centre to give directions to States. Articles 258, 355 and 356 deal with delegation of Union functions to States, duty of the Union to protect States, and President’s Rule respectively, so they do not fit the description.
