d) The House of the People has special powers with respect to the State List compared to the Council of States

Answer: (d)

The Constitution empowers the Parliament of India to make laws on the matters reserved for States (States List). However, this can only be done if Rajya Sabha first passes a resolution by two-thirds supermajority granting such a power to the Union Parliament.

The union government cannot make a law on a matter reserved for states without authorisation from Rajya Sabha.

So the House of People does not have special powers with respect to the state list.
