Explanation

During the Constituent Assembly debates, the term 'Parliament of the Federation' was initially used to describe the national legislature. This reflected the federal nature of the Indian Constitution then being drafted. Later, this was simplified to 'Parliament' in the final Constitution. The term 'Federation' in the original drafting emphasized the federal structure of the Indian Union, where power is divided between the Center and States. Options A and B were not the terms used in the Assembly debates.
