Let's analyze each statement based on the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India: * **A) Inter-State trade and commerce is a State subject under the State List.** Incorrect. 'Trade and commerce with other countries; import and export across customs frontiers; inter-State trade and commerce' (Entry 42) is a **Union subject** under the Union List. * **B) Inter-State migration is a State subject under the State List.** Incorrect. 'Migration from one State to another; inter-State quarantine' (Entry 81) is a **Union subject** under the Union List. * **C) Inter-State quarantine is a Union subject under the Union List.** Correct. 'Migration from one State to another; inter-State quarantine' (Entry 81) is indeed a **Union subject** under the Union List. * **D) Corporation tax is a State subject under the State List.** Incorrect. 'Corporation tax' (Entry 85) is a **Union subject** under the Union List. Therefore, only statement C is correct.
