  4. DPondicherry

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the map shows Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which is characterized by its unique landlocked shape situated between the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. This Union Territory consists of two distinct geographical entities: Dadra, which is an enclave within Gujarat, and Nagar Haveli, which lies between Gujarat and Maharashtra. Its irregular borders and inland position distinguish it from the coastal structures of Daman, Diu, or Pondicherry, and the planned urban layout of Chandigarh. Note that while Dadra and Nagar Haveli has since been merged with Daman and Diu into a single administrative unit, historically and geographically, this specific map represents the Dadra and Nagar Haveli region.
