Answer 1

The correct option is B $1^{st}\text{October}1953$

The news of the passing away of Sriramulu engulfed entire Andhra in chaos. The protests were so widespread and intense that the central government was forced to give in to the demand. Thus, on $1^{st}\text{October}1953$, the new state of Andhra came into being, which subsequently became Andhra Pradesh on $1^{st}\text{November}1956$.
