Correct Answer: B

Uttarakhand became a separate state of India on 9 November 2000. Before this, it was part of Uttar Pradesh. People in the hill regions had long been demanding a new state because of their unique culture, geographical conditions, and developmental needs that were different from the plains of Uttar Pradesh.

After years of movements and protests, the Government of India agreed to their demand, and the new state was formed.

At the time of its creation, it was named Uttaranchal, and later in 2007, the name was officially changed to Uttarakhand, which means "Northern Land" in Sanskrit.

So, among the given options, the right year is 2000.
