    1. ADependence of States on the Union for finances and functionaries
    2. BCooperation among all the states for the development of the nation

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Federalism's defining feature is the constitutional division of powers between the Union and the States, organised in India through the Union, State and Concurrent Lists in the Seventh Schedule. The other options describe particular tendencies or outcomes but don't capture the core idea. India is a federation by constitutional creation, not by an agreement among units.
