Explanation:

- Arunachal Pradesh:

- The correct answer is Option 2, as the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) was the name used for the region currently known as Arunachal Pradesh until 20 January 1972.

- It was administered by the Ministry of External Affairs and then the Ministry of Home Affairs in India. In 1972, NEFA was given the status of a Union Territory and later became a state in 1987.

- Sikkim:

- Option 1 is incorrect. Sikkim was an independent kingdom until it became the 22nd state of India in 1975.

- Nagaland:

- Option 3 is incorrect. Nagaland was formed as a separate state on December 1, 1963, after being part of Assam.

- Assam:

- Option 4 is incorrect. Assam is a larger state that was administered differently and never called NEFA.

Correct Answer: Option 2: Arunachal Pradesh
