Which of the following pairs of list and contents is/are correctly matched? 1. State list Public health and sanitation 2. Union list Citizenship, naturalisation and aliens 3. Concurrent list Legal, medical and other Select the correct answer using the code given below :

All three pairs are correctly matched according to the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Public health and sanitation is explicitly mentioned as a subject under the State List (List II, Entry 6) . Citizenship, naturalisation, and aliens are exclusive domains of the Union Parliament and are listed under the Union List (List I, Entry 17) . Regarding the Concurrent List (List III), Entry 26 covers 'Legal, medical and other professions,' allowing both the Centre and States to legislate on these matters [1]. The distribution of these subjects ensures a balance between national uniformity and regional requirements. While the Union List handles matters of national importance like foreign affairs and citizenship, the State List focuses on local issues like public health, and the Concurrent List manages shared interests such as professional regulations .
