• A. 27

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

India is a federal union comprising 28 states and 8 Union Territories. As of recent amendments, however, the total number of states is 29 following the inclusion of Jammu and Kashmir as a union territory. This federal structure, defined by the Constitution of India, allocates powers between the central government and individual states.
