\textbf{States and Union Territories of India.} It is important to have an updated understanding of the states and Union Territories of India, as their status can change over time due to political and administrative decisions. Currently, India has 28 states and 8 Union Territories.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's examine each of the options to determine if it is a state in India:
Nagaland: Nagaland is a state in Northeast India.
Manipur: Manipur is a state in Northeast India.
Laddakh: Ladakh is a Union Territory in India. It was formerly part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir but was reorganized into a separate Union Territory in August 2019.
Meghalaya: Meghalaya is a state in Northeast India. Therefore, Ladakh is not a state; it is a Union Territory.
