246

Explanation:

Article 246 of the Indian Constitution deals with the subject matter of laws made by Parliament and the Legislatures of States. It outlines the division of legislative powers between the Union and the States through three lists: the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List. Any subject not specifically enumerated in these lists falls under the "residuary powers." Article 246, read with Entry 97 of the Union List, vests the power to make laws on these residuary subjects exclusively with the Parliament (the Union government). This means that only the Parliament can legislate on matters that are not explicitly mentioned in any of the three lists.

Why the other options are less suitable:

Deals with the extent of executive power of the Union. Deals with the constitution of Committees of Parliament. Deals with provisions regarding an InterState Council.
