(State) | (Full Statehood Granted In)
A. Goa | 1. 1966
B. Haryana | 2. 1972
C. Meghalaya | 3. 1975
D. Sikkim | 4. 1987

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3). This sequence correctly aligns the Indian states with the years they achieved full statehood under the Indian Union.

  • Goa (A-4): Originally a Union Territory, Goa was granted full statehood on May 30, 1987, becoming the 25th state of India.
  • Haryana (B-1): Carved out of the state of Punjab on linguistic grounds via the Punjab Reorganisation Act, Haryana attained statehood in 1966.
  • Meghalaya (C-2): Initially an autonomous state within Assam, Meghalaya was elevated to a full-fledged state in 1972 following the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971.
  • Sikkim (D-3): After being a protectorate, Sikkim became an integral part of India as the 22nd state in 1975 through the 36th Constitutional Amendment Act.

Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these definitive historical milestones of India's political integration and reorganization.
