Solution
The correct option is D Portugal
In 1961, the Government of India under Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru adopted a plan called operation Vijay to free the Portuguese colonies in India.
The Portuguese army was not well prepared to handle the attack of Indian armed forces.
Within 40 hours of the start of the operation, the Indian army had successfully carried out operation Vijay and centuries of Portuguese domination in Goa came to an end.
