Explanation:

d) 2 and 3 only. Federalism divides the government power between centre and state. At times there may be disagreements between central and state government (e.g. the case of GST). This actually hinders quick decision making. Federalism brings government closer to people helping regional issues gain prominence thus giving voice to regional interests. By dividing government power, it creates a network of checks and balances.
