- According to the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, which lists the subjects under the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List: - Entry 9 of the Concurrent List is "Bankruptcy and insolvency". Thus, option A is correctly matched. - Entry 14 of the State List is "Contempt of Court, but not including contempt of the Supreme Court". Thus, option B is correctly matched. - Entry 20 of the Concurrent List is "Economic and social planning". Thus, option C is incorrectly matched as it is listed under the Union List in the option, but it belongs to the Concurrent List. - Note: Both options A and B are correctly matched according to the Seventh Schedule. Standard multiple-choice questions are expected to have only one correct answer. This question appears to be flawed. However, if forced to choose based on a single option being correct, and assuming a possible error in question design allowing multiple correct options, I select A. In a well-designed exam, such a question would either be modified, or all correct options would be credited.
