The correct answer is: D. Parliament
The President of India can only admit a new State to the Union of India if the Parliament has passed a resolution to that effect. The President’s role is largely ceremonial in this regard.
The Supreme Court has no role in admitting a new State to the Union of India.
The Prime Minister is the head of the executive branch of the Indian government, but does not have the power to admit a new State to the Union of India.
Parliament is the supreme legislative body of the Indian government, and has the sole power to admit a new State to the Union of India.
