Answer:

Power exercised at the same time, by Federal and States-Provinces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the word concurrent used in the term Concurrent Powers, which defines a federal system, because concurrent powers mean the power that is exercised by a federal government but at the same time, it's also exercised by local governments.

So, there is a separation of powers in different levels of jurisdiction.
