A Correct answer
Explanation

The classification of governments as unitary or federal depends on the relationship between the center and states. In a unitary system, power is concentrated at the center with states deriving authority from it. In a federal system, power is constitutionally divided between center and states, each sphere being coordinate and independent within its sphere.
