As on March 2020, India comprises twenty-eight states and ______ union territories.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. eight

This configuration came about due to recent administrative changes: the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories (Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh) in October 2019, and the merger of the Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli into a single Union Territory (Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu) in January 2020.
