The correct answer is "First Schedule".

Option 1: The First Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists the names of the states and union territories and specifies their territories. It also includes any alterations, increases, or decreases or merged territories.

Option 2: The Second Schedule of the Indian Constitution deals with the Presidents, Governors, Speakers, Judges, etc. salaries, allowances, and privileges. This is not related to listing names of the states or specifying their territories.

Option 3: The Third Schedule of the Indian Constitution contains forms of Oaths and Affirmations for the candidates elected to the parliament, officers, ministers, etc. It is also not related to listing names of states or specifying their territories.

Option 4: The Fourth Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists the allocation of seats for each state and Union Territory in the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). Though it is related to states, it does not list their names or specify their territories.

In conclusion, the First Schedule of the Indian Constitution is the one which specifically lists the names of states and specifies their territories.
