C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 1 of the Constitution declares 'India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States' - explicitly avoiding the term 'federation'. The Constitution establishes a Union with a strong center, not a loose federation. States can be created/organized (Article 3), and territories include states, UTs, and acquirable territories. 'Federation states' is not a constitutional classification.
