In which one of the following union territories, do the people of the Onge tribe live?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Onge (Onges) are explicitly listed among the surviving indigenous tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, confirming their presence in that Union Territory [1]. More specifically, official local sources state that the Onges inhabit Little Andaman Island (with settlements at places such as Dugong Creek and South Bay), identifying them as a distinct hunting-and-gathering tribe native to Little Andaman within the Andaman and Nicobar Islands [2]. Therefore the correct Union Territory where the Onge people live is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
