Solution
The correct option is C The students of Gujarat state board will be taught Gujarati. According to the National Policy of Education, states could bring changes in the curriculum based on their cultural, geographical and historical background. For example, states can include stories of their local historical figures in their history textbooks. So, while students of the Tamil Nadu state board could be taught about the Maratha empire, it is likely that the Maharashtra state board would include more detailed chapters on the Maratha empire following the National Policy of Education.
Similarly the state boards can introduce regional languages to their curriculum. The Gujarat state board will teach its students Gujarati, while the Telangana state board would teach its students Telugu. Tulu is a language spoken in Karnataka.
