Option 1 states that the President of India takes over administration of provinces under emergency provisions. This is a violation of the principle of federalism because it undermines the autonomy and independence of the provinces. In a federal system, power is distributed between the central government and the provincial governments, and the central government should not have the authority to take over the administration of the provinces.

Option 2 states that the Parliament of India has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent List or State List. This statement is not violative of the principle of federalism because it is within the powers granted to the central government. In a federal system, there are certain matters that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the central government, and this statement reflects that distribution of power.

Option 3 states that the distribution of powers between the Union and Provinces is done through three different lists enumerated in the constitution of India. This statement is also not violative of the principle of federalism. In a federal system, power is divided between the central government and the provincial governments, and this distribution is often done through lists that specify the subjects on which each level of government can make laws.

Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer, as it does not violate the principle
