Solution

(i), (iii), and (iv)

i. NITI Aayog acts as a “think tank” of the Union Government.

iii. NITI Aayog acts in the spirit of cooperative federalism.

iv. NITI Aayog decides more roles for bigger states and smaller roles for smaller states.

Explanation:

The Union Government's "think tank" is NITI Aayog. Counterterrorism is not NITI Aayog's primary priority; rather, it is economic issues, development planning, and policy creation. Larger states are given a larger role by NITI Aayog, whereas smaller states are given a reduced part. By allocating resources appropriately, NITI Aayog seeks to advance balanced regional development.
