Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation: The term ‘Federation’ has nowhere been used in the Constitution.

Article 1, on the other hand, describes India as a ‘Union of States’ which implies two things: one, Indian Federation is not the result of an agreement by the states; and two, no state has the right to secede from the federation.
