Solution

The correct option is B Andaman and Nicobar islands
The group of island lying in the Bay of Bengal is called the Andaman and Nicobar Islands while the group of islands in the Arabian Sea is called the Lakshadweep.

The Andaman Islands are an Indian archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. These roughly 300 islands are known for their palm-lined, white-sand beaches, mangroves and tropical rainforests. Coral reefs supporting marine life such as sharks and rays make for popular diving and snorkeling sites. Indigenous Andaman Islanders inhabit the more remote islands, many of which are off limits to visitors.
