C
Correct answer
Explanation
In 1976(during the Emergency), Gandhi added Article 48A to the constitution stating that: The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country. The same decree transferred wildlife and forests from state list to concurrent list of the constitution, thus, giving the central government the power to overrule state decisions on that matter.
