(C) By different social groups
(D) By two or more political parties

Answer 1

Hint: Unity government is a form of government in which political parties work together, limiting the domination of any one party to that "coalition".

Complete answer:
In a coalition the devolution of power is between and between the various political parties that are part of the coalition and the decision is made by each political party as part of a coalition government. Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary.It is also termed as horizontal distribution of power because it allows different organs of government placed at the same level to exercise different powers.For example, The distribution of power between Indian Parliament (legislature), the council of ministers headed by chief ministers (executive) and Courts of India.In a democracy, citizens must have the freedom to choose between opponents and different political parties to gain power. Opposition elections form a unity government so power is shared.As no single party gained a clear majority in Lok Sabha, major national parties had to join a coalition with many parties including several regional parties to form a government at the center. This led to a new culture of power-sharing and respect for the independence of the State government. Therefore, devolution of power is more effective today than it was in the first years after the Constitution took effect.

Additional Information:
In India, the first coalition government to complete its full-term was the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance from 1999 to 2004. While some say that coalition governments generate more inclusive policies, others believe that coalitions impose constraints on policy making.

Note:
After 1990, there was an increase in regional political parties and the beginning of the 'Cooperative Government' era in the Center.
So,The correct Answer is option (A) among different organs of government.
