The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India pertains to the administration of tribal areas in the states of A) Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram.

The Sixth Schedule provides for the administration of certain tribal areas in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. It allows for the creation of Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and Autonomous Regional Councils (ARCs) in these areas, which have powers to make laws on various matters, including land, forest management, primary schools, etc., and also have certain judicial and financial powers.

The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in any state other than the four states covered by the Sixth Schedule. The states mentioned in the other options (Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh) have tribal populations but their administration is generally governed by the normal constitutional provisions or, in the case of tribal areas in states other than the four, by the Fifth Schedule.
