Solution

The correct option is A February 1948
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel handled the task of integrating 562 independent states with a democratic self-governing India. By August 15, 1947 all except Hyderabad, Junagarh and Kashmir acceded to India. Junagad merged with India in February 1948 mainly due to the wishes of the people to be a part of India despite the Nawab wanting it to accede to Pakistan.
