Which one of the following statements is incorrect ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Options 1–3 are factually correct. Goa was separated from Daman and Diu and made a State by the Goa, Daman and Diu Reorganisation Act, 1987 (statehood conferred in 1987) [1]. Diu is located primarily on an island at the southern tip of the Kathiawar Peninsula and is situated on the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay) [2]. The Constitution (56th Amendment) Act, 1987, conferred statehood on Goa and formed the separate Union Territory of Daman and Diu. Statement 4 is incorrect: Dadra and Nagar Haveli were under Portuguese—not French—rule and were liberated from Portuguese control in 1954 [3].
