The correct answer is (d) Laws for reorganisation of states.

• It provides the procedure for the modification of state boundaries, the formation of new states, and the alteration of the names of existing states.

• Article 4 empowers Parliament to enact laws for the reorganisation of states without requiring a constitutional amendment, even if such laws affect the provisions of the Constitution related to the states' boundaries.

Information Booster:

• Article 4 specifically refers to changes in state boundaries and the names of states under certain circumstances, such as when a law is passed for the formation of new states or for reorganising existing ones.

• The Reorganisation of States Act (1956) is an example of legislation passed under Article 4 to create new states and modify the boundaries of existing ones.

• Option B is incorrect because Financial Powers are addressed under Articles 265 to 300.

• Option C is incorrect as Fundamental Rights are covered under Part III of the Constitution, specifically from Article 12 to 35.
