B Correct answer
Explanation

Altering the name of a state is the power of the Parliament under Article 3, not the State Legislature. While the President refers the bill to the state legislature for its views, the Parliament has the final authority to pass the law. The other pairs correctly match the constitutional provisions regarding equality and state creation.
