The correct answer is: c) Tribal councils and chiefdoms.
Arunachal Pradesh is a state in northeastern India. It is the largest state in India by area, but also the least populous. The state is home to a diverse range of ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture and traditions.
Unlike many parts of India, Arunachal Pradesh was not ruled by a large princely state or by the British colonial administration. Instead, it was largely governed by tribal councils and chiefdoms. These councils were responsible for settling disputes, maintaining law and order, and managing land and resources.
The tribal councils and chiefdoms of Arunachal Pradesh played an important role in shaping the state’s history and culture. They continue to play an important role in the lives of many people in the state today.

- Option (a), Large princely states, is incorrect because Arunachal Pradesh was not ruled by a large princely state.
- Option (b), British colonial administration, is incorrect because Arunachal Pradesh was not ruled by the British colonial administration.
- Option (d), Zamindari systems, is incorrect because Zamindari systems were not used in Arunachal Pradesh.
