Correct Answer:
A. Federal Government, Provincial Government, and Local Authorities
According to Article 7 of the Constitution of Pakistan (1973), the term "State" is broadly defined to include the Federal Government, Provincial Governments, and Local Authorities, along with Parliament and Provincial Assemblies. This comprehensive definition ensures that all levels of governance are constitutionally recognized and accountable. Distractor "Only the Prime Minister and President" is too narrow, representing only parts of the executive. "Only Federal Government" is incomplete, ignoring provincial and local tiers. "Judiciary, Press, and International Organizations" incorrectly includes non-state entities like the press and international bodies, making it largely inaccurate.
