Detailed Solution

Transferring some power from central government to state government best describes decentralization.
The division of power between different levels of government is called decentralization. Thus, decentralisation means that rather than concentration of power and responsibilities in the hands of a single authority, some of it is transferred to sub-ordinate or quasi-independent authorities. In this case, some powers and functions of the Central government are transferred to the State government, or even to Local governments.
