Solution
The correct option is D Delhi
Delhi is neither a State, nor a Union Territory. It used to
be a full-fledged Union Territory till 1991, when the 69th amendment of the
Constitution gave it a special status. The amendment declared the Union
Territory of Delhi to be formally known as National Capital Territory of Delhi.
A system of diarchy was introduced under which the elected Government was given
wide powers, excluding law and order which remained with the Central
Government. The actual enforcement of the legislation came in 1993.
