Explanation / Answer

The term ‘devolution’ mean:

c. returning of power to subnational Governments

When the Federal Government transfers the power to the State Government or any subnationals, there is said to be ‘Devolution’. In such a scenario, there is a gradual decrease of controlling power from the Federal Government to the lower descents of the Governments in order to establish more efficiency in the system.

Which of the following statement is not true:

d. In a unitary government power is shared between the federal government and subnational governments.

A unitary Government being a sovereign state, there is only one power that is supreme and thereby a centralized Government. Hence it cannot be shared between the Federal and Subnational governments.
