Solution

The correct option is A France
France controlled Puducherry even after the Independence of India in 1947. Puducherry, Mahe, Yanam, Karaikal and Chandernagar remained a part of French India until 1954. The independence of India in 1947 gave momentum to the union of France's Indian possessions with former British India.
