The correct answer is D. Parliament.
The President of India can only permit the formation of a new state if the Parliament passes a resolution to that effect. The President can also refuse to give his assent to such a resolution, but this has never happened in the history of India.
The Supreme Court has no role in the formation of new states. The Prime Minister is the head of the executive branch of the government, but he does not have the power to create new states.
Parliament is the supreme legislative body of India. It has the power to make laws, amend the Constitution, and create new states.
