D Correct answer
Explanation

A federation is an association of states that come together to form a new political entity where both the central government and the states derive their power from a common constitution. Neither dominates the other - each has its own sphere of authority. Options A, B, and C incorrectly describe dominance, dependence, or interference rather than constitutional division of power.
