Correct answer: A

An inter-state supply attracts Integrated GST, which is levied and collected by the Centre.
The Centre then apportions the state's share to the state where the goods are consumed.
CGST and SGST together apply only when the supply stays within one state.

Worth noting

GST is a destination-based tax, so the revenue follows the buyer rather than staying with the state that produced the goods.
