The correct answer is (d), Manipur.

The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 23.5 degrees north latitude. It marks the southernmost latitude where the Sun can be directly overhead at noon on the June solstice. The Tropic of Cancer passes through 16 countries, including India. In India, the Tropic of Cancer passes through the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Tripura.

Manipur is a state in northeastern India that is located north of the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer does not pass through Manipur because it is located north of the 23.5 degree north latitude.
