Solution
The correct option is D Parliament
By law, Parliament can form a new state by separating
territory from any state, by merging two or more states or parts of states.
Parliament can also reduce or increase the area or alter the boundary of any

referred by the President to the legislature of the affected state so that the
legislature can express its views within a certain period.
