Solution

The correct option is D 1956
This was due to the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. This act was a major reform of the boundaries of India's states and territories, organizing them along linguistic lines. The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 remains the single most extensive change in state boundaries since the independence of India in 1947.
