खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ?

The correct answer is Option B ((b) The President may, without any legislative sanction, entrust any executive function to State.).

Key Points:
• Constitutional Provisions on Administrative Relations:
• Statement (a) is true: Under Articles 73 and 162, the executive power is co-extensive with legislative power, distributing executive authority between the Union and the States.
• Statement (b) is false: Under Article 258(1), the President can entrust Union executive functions to a State government or its officers only with the consent of the Government of the State. Entrustment without the State's consent requires legislative sanction through an Act of Parliament enacted under Article 258(2). Hence, the President cannot arbitrarily entrust functions without consent/statutory authority.
• Statement (c) is true: Under Article 258A (inserted by the 7th Amendment, 1956), the Governor of a State may, with the consent of the Government of India, entrust state executive functions to the Union or its officers.
• Key Takeaway: Under Article 258(1), Union functions can only be entrusted to a State with the State's consent, not unilaterally without statutory sanction.
