General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AUnion of States
- BFederation of States
- CAutonomous States
- DSubsidiary States
Explanation
When Dr. B. R. Ambedkar presented the Draft Constitution on 4 November 1948, it described India in Article 1 as a Union of States. This phrasing, retained in the final Constitution, was deliberately chosen to deny states any right of secession. Federation of States, Autonomous States and Subsidiary States were not the terms used. Hence option A is correct.
