Solution

The correct option is A Language
The states were reorganised on the basis of language. In the year 1956, the State Reorganisation Act was passed. This brought all the Kannada-speaking people of Bombay, Madras, Hyderabad Princely State, and the Kodagu province (which was also under British rule) together. This state came to be known as Vishal Mysuru State.
