Solution

The correct option is C Goa

Goa was incorporated into the Indian Union in December 1961, even though India achieved independence from the British rule on 15 August 1947. The territory of Goa was under the Portuguese rule since the 16th century, and was recaptured by India in 1961. December 19 is celebrated as the 'Liberation Day' in Goa.
