Answer
Exam answer
(d) The Union law will prevail..
Explanation
Both Parliament and the State Legislatures may legislate on the 47 subjects of the Concurrent List, but where the two laws conflict, the UNION law prevails and the State law becomes void to the extent of the inconsistency. This is a defining feature of Indian federalism — the Constitution gives the Centre the upper hand, which is why India is often described as a federation with a strong unitary bias.
In words
The Union law will prevail..
