(B) Union Territories
Areas like Chandigarh, Lakshadweep and Delhi, which are too small to become independent States but cannot be merged with existing States, are called Union Territories.
The answer is directly stated in the textbook: "These areas, like Chandigarh, or Lakshadweep or the capital city of Delhi, are called Union Territories." For MCQs, write the option letter clearly and state the term. Avoid confusing Union Territories with Autonomous Districts (which are within States under the Sixth Schedule) or Scheduled Areas.
