  • A Between the central government and the local authorities
  • B Among the major regions of federation
  • C Among the major regions of the country
  • D Between the central government and other co-ordinate units
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In a federal state, sovereignty is divided between a central government and regional governments that are co-ordinate with it. This means that both levels of government have their own distinct powers and responsibilities, and neither can abolish the other. Local authorities are subordinate to state governments, not co-ordinate partners in the federal arrangement.
