Explanation:

First and third statements are incorrect. Article 1 in the Constitution states that India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States. The territory of India shall consist of: The territories of the states, The Union territories and Any territory that may be acquired. India is as 'an indestructible union of destructible states'. The Union government can destroy the states whereas the state governments cannot destroy the Union.
Hence, union does not guarantee a territorial integrity.
Second statement is correct. The names of the States and Union Territories are mentioned in the Constitution itself. Presently, there are 28 States and 8 Union Territories in Indian Union.
