{'madhya pradesh': [16, 0, 16, 28], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'common borders': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'rajasthan': [0, 0, 1, 18], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'maximum number': [1, 0, 1, 2]}
The correct answer is option 1, Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh shares borders with multiple states in India, making it the state with the maximum number of neighboring states. It shares borders with nine different states, namely Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar. This makes it a key connecting state in the northern region of India. It is worth noting that the other options, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, also share borders with multiple states but not as many as Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it has the largest number of common borders with other states.
