The name of Meghalaya was ascribed by

Concept: The name of a place is credited to the person who first proposed or coined it. 'Meghalaya' (Sanskrit for 'the abode of clouds') is a geographical term created to describe the Garo-Khasi-Jaintia plateau.

Application: The name 'Meghalaya' was coined by Shiba Prasad Chatterjee (S.P. Chatterjee), a Professor of Geography at the University of Calcutta, who introduced it in 1936 in his study of the plateau. When the state was carved out in 1972, this name was adopted.

Cross-check against the people listed:

• Rabindranath Tagore was a poet and Nobel laureate, not the namer of the plateau.

• Gopinath Bordoloi was Assam's first Chief Minister, a political figure.

• Dr. Suniti Kumar Chattopadhyay was a linguist - a different person from the geographer S.P. Chatterjee, despite the similar surname.

None of the listed individuals is the geographer who coined the name, so the correct response is that none of them gave the name.
