D Correct answer
Explanation

The Preamble to the Indian Constitution reads 'Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic'. The term 'Federal' is explicitly absent as India describes itself as a 'Union of States' (Article 1), not a federal structure. India has federal features but is not strictly federal like the USA.
