Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Items on the Exclusive Legislative List in the Nigerian constitution are reserved solely for the National Assembly (federal legislature) to legislate upon. States have no legislative competence over these matters. The Concurrent Legislative List, on the other hand, allows both the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly to make laws, with federal law prevailing in cases of conflict.
