Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.

Second, the President must refer the Bill to the Legislature of the State concerned for expressing its views within a specified period. 4. The State Legislature's view is, however, NOT binding on Parliament; State ratification and Inter-State Council clearance are not required. _Source: Constitution of India (Bare Act, updated to 105th Amendment Act 2021), Govt. of India Legislative Dept., Article 3 proviso_
