Correct answer: D
Statehood dates: Nagaland — 1 December 1963
Tripura — 21 January 1972
Mizoram — 20 February 1987
Therefore the chronological order from first to last is: Nagaland → Tripura → Mizoram. Note: Meghalaya also became a state on 21 January 1972 (the same day as Tripura), and Arunachal Pradesh became a state on 20 February 1987 (the same day as Mizoram).
