Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

In 2018, the First Schedule listed 29 States and there were seven Union Territories, so the answer is "29 States and 7 Union Territories". Telangana had become the 29th State in 2014, and Jammu and Kashmir was reorganised only in 2019.

Current law: India currently has 28 States and eight Union Territories. Jammu and Kashmir’s reorganisation created two Union Territories in 2019, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu merged into one Union Territory in 2020.
