The correct answer is a) Junagadh.
Junagadh was a princely state in Gujarat, India, during British rule. It was one of the largest and most prosperous princely states in India. The state was ruled by the Jadeja Rajput dynasty. The capital of the state was Junagadh city.
The state of Junagadh was founded in the 11th century by Mularaja I. The state reached its peak under the rule of Jam Ranjitsinhji (1870-1939). Jam Ranjitsinhji was a famous cricketer and statesman. He was also the first Indian to play Test cricket for England.
The state of Junagadh acceded to India on 15 August 1947. However, the Nawab of Junagadh, Muhammad Mahabat Khan III, wanted to accede to Pakistan. This led to a dispute between India and Pakistan. The dispute was finally resolved in 1948 when the state of Junagadh was merged with India.
