The correct answer is (d) 1897.

Raj Bhavan is the official residence of the Governor of Uttarakhand, India. It is located in Nainital, a hill station in the Kumaon region of the state. The building was originally constructed in 1897 as a summer palace for the British Viceroy of India. It was later converted into a government house and has been the official residence of the Governor of Uttarakhand since the state’s formation in 2000.

The building is a large, three-story structure in the Indo-Saracenic style. It is surrounded by a large garden and has a commanding view of the Naini Lake. The interior of the building is richly decorated with wood paneling, stained glass windows, and marble floors.

Raj Bhavan is a popular tourist destination and is open to the public for guided tours. It is also a popular venue for state functions and events.
