Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: B) Hyderabad State and princely states
The British divided the territories they controlled in present-day Karnataka into the Hyderabad State and princely states. The Hyderabad State was a princely state in India that existed from 1724 to 1948. It was ruled by the Nizams of Hyderabad, who were a Muslim dynasty. The princely states were independent states that were ruled by local rulers. They were not part of British India.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the way that the British divided the territories they controlled in present-day Karnataka.
- Option A is incorrect because the Madras Presidency and Bombay Presidency were located in southern and western India, respectively. Karnataka is located in southern India.
- Option C is incorrect because the Bengal Presidency and princely states were located in eastern India. Karnataka is located in southern India.
- Option D is incorrect because the Central Provinces and princely states were located in central India. Karnataka is located in southern India.
