The Operation Polo was a military operation carried out by the Indian Army in September 1948 to annex the princely state of Hyderabad into the Indian Union. Option 1, Kashmir, is not the correct answer as Operation Polo was not associated with the annexation of Kashmir. Option 2, Junagarh, is also incorrect as the annexation of Junagarh was achieved through a plebiscite conducted among the people of the state. Option 3, Travancore, is not the correct answer either as Travancore voluntarily joined the Indian Union without any military intervention. The correct answer is option 4, Hyderabad, as Operation Polo marked the annexation of Hyderabad by India.
