The correct option is C Jammu and Kashmir

A Union Territoryis a type of administrative division in the Republic of India. Unlike the states of India, which have their own governments, union territories are federal territories governed directly by the Central Government of India

In August 2019, the Parliament of India passed the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019. The act contains provisions to reconstitute the state of Jammu & Kashmir into two union territories, one to be eponymously called Jammu & Kashmir, and the other Ladakh on 31 October 2019.
