Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Among the given options, Assam shares boundaries with the largest number of states. Uttar Pradesh holds the national record, bordering 8 states and 1 Union Territory. However, within the provided choices, Assam borders 7 states: West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya. Chhattisgarh also borders 7 states: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. While both Assam and Chhattisgarh share borders with 7 states, historically and in standard competitive examinations like UPSC, Assam is frequently cited as the state with the highest number of neighbors after Uttar Pradesh due to its unique position connecting the 'Seven Sisters' to the rest of India. Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra border 5 and 6 states respectively.
