Correct Answer

(C) 1, 3 and 4

Explanation

Solution: 1. Territorial Nexus: This principle states that an object should have a territorial connection with the state for the state to legislate upon it. This means that the state can only make laws concerning matters within its territorial jurisdiction. 3. Colourable Legislation: This principle suggests that the legislature cannot do indirectly what it cannot do directly. In other words, it prohibits the legislature from passing laws that, although seemingly within its powers, are actually meant to achieve something beyond its jurisdiction. 4. Repugnancy: Repugnancy arises when there's a conflict between laws made by different legislatures on the same subject matter. In such cases, the law made by the superior legislature will prevail, and the law made by the inferior legislature will become void to the extent of its repugnancy. Option A: This option is incorrect because it includes option 2, which is "Pith and substance," which is not correctly matched. Option B: This option is incorrect because it includes option 2, which is "Pith and substance," which is not correctly matched. Option C: This option is correct as it includes options 1, 3, and 4, all of which are correctly matched principles of constitutional law. Option D: This option is incorrect because it excludes option 3, which is "Colourable legislation," a correctly matched principle.
