Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) without the consent of any State
Article 253 of the Constitution empowers Parliament to make laws for the whole or any part of India for implementing treaties or international agreements ‘notwithstanding anything’ in the Constitution—i.e., it can legislate without needing any State’s consent. Therefore option (d) (‘without the consent of any State’) is correct; the other options incorrectly require State concurrence.
