Explanation:

Let's examine each option for Blank No. 4:

- Option 1: region

- "Region" usually refers to a specific part of a larger area or something with geographical boundaries. It could fit, but it doesn't quite capture the broader idea of uniting all under a central authority.

- Option 2: territory

- "Territory" implies a defined area of land, typically under a jurisdiction, but it doesn't suit the historical context as well.

- Option 3: country

- "Country" refers to a nation as a whole, which might seem to fit, but India at that time wasn't yet a single nation; it was a collection of various regions.

- Option 4: state

- "State" can mean a politically organized body of people under a single government, which aligns with the idea of uniting under a central authority, especially in the discussed historical context.

Correct Answer: Option 4: state
