keywords: 

{'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'indian union': [2, 0, 3, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'full status ofstatehood': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'nagaland': [25, 4, 15, 26], 'goa': [1, 1, 1, 0], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that Arunachal Pradesh and Goa were given full statehood in the Indian Union in 1987. Let`s analyze the other options:

Option 2 states that Goa and Meghalaya were given full statehood in 1987, which is incorrect. Meghalaya attained statehood on January 21, 1972, and therefore was not one of the states given statehood in 1987.

Option 3 states that Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland were given full statehood in 1987, which is also incorrect. Nagaland achieved statehood on December 1, 1963, and therefore was not one of the states given statehood in 1987.

Option 4 states that Meghalaya and Nagaland were given full statehood in 1987, which is again incorrect. As mentioned earlier, Meghalaya attained statehood on January 21, 1972, and Nagaland achieved statehood on December 1, 1963.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, as Arunachal Pradesh and Goa were the two states that were given full statehood in the Indian Union in 1987.
