Solution

The correct option is A 1961
India acquired three territories (Goa, Daman, and Diu) from Portuguese by means of a police action in 1961. They were constituted as a union territory by the 12th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1962. Later, in 1987, Goa was conferred a statehood and Daman and Diu were made a separate union territory.
