Correct answer: A
Central and regional police training institutions in India are typically administered under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (Government of India), and each institution's campus is located in one specific host state, identifiable from the institution's own official records.
The North Eastern Police Academy (NEPA) is a police training institution serving the eight North-Eastern states, currently administered under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (Government of India). Its campus is located at Umsaw village in Ri-Bhoi district, Meghalaya, near Shillong, as confirmed on NEPA's own official website and in Ministry of Home Affairs records. So the host state is Meghalaya.
Assam hosts other major regional institutions, such as the Gauhati High Court, established in 1948 as the oldest High Court in the North-East, but not NEPA's campus.
Arunachal Pradesh, bordering China and Myanmar, hosts state-level and defence establishments, not NEPA.
Manipur, with its capital Imphal, hosts its own state police training infrastructure, not NEPA.
