Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Chhattisgarh is a landlocked state in Central India that shares its borders with seven neighboring states. These states are Uttar Pradesh to the north, Jharkhand to the northeast, Odisha to the east, Telangana to the southwest, Maharashtra to the west, Madhya Pradesh to the northwest, and Andhra Pradesh to the south [t2][t3][t5]. While some older sources or maps might list six states [t4][t6], this often excludes the small southern border shared with Andhra Pradesh or predates the 2014 bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Following the creation of Telangana, Chhattisgarh maintains a distinct border with both Telangana and the residual state of Andhra Pradesh [t3][t9]. Therefore, the total count of surrounding states is seven, making it one of the Indian states with the highest number of neighboring boundaries [t5][t6].
