The correct answer is option 1: 28 States and 8 Union Territories.

In India, the administrative divisions are categorized into states and union territories. As of now, there are a total of 28 states and 8 Union Territories in India. States have their own elected governments and have more autonomy in governance, while Union Territories are directly controlled by the central government.

Option 2, which suggests 27 States and 9 Union Territories, is incorrect.

Option 3, with 30 States and 6 Union Territories, is also incorrect.

Option 4, suggesting 29 States and 7 Union Territories, is also incorrect.

It is important to note that the number of states and union territories in India can change over time due to reorganization or the creation of new territories. However, as of now, 28 States and 8 Union Territories is the correct answer.
