The state of Tripura is administratively divided into 8 districts.
This structure was established in January 2012, when the original four districts were reorganized into eight.
The eight districts are Dhalai, Gomati, Khowai, North Tripura, Sepahijala, South Tripura, Unakoti, and West Tripura.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
Option A: Tripura has never had exactly 6 districts. This is an incorrect number.
Option C: The number of districts in Tripura is 8, not 9. This is a common distractor when numbers are close.
Option D: Tripura does not have 7 districts. Before 2012, it had 4 districts, and since then, it has had 8.

Clinical Relevance
Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Administrative divisions of Indian states as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general knowledge question. Clinical relevance is not applicable.
Understanding the geography and administrative structure of different states can be useful for healthcare professionals during policy planning, resource allocation, or in epidemiological studies, but it is not directly related to bedside nursing practice.
What if? - If the stem changed one defining clue so that 8 no longer matched, reassess the option whose mechanism, classification, or indication now fits the revised presentation.
How to Approach the Question
Identify the core of the question: It asks for a specific number (total districts) related to a specific place (Tripura).
Recognize this as a factual recall question from general knowledge or geography.
Access your memory for the administrative divisions of Indian states.
If unsure, eliminate obviously incorrect options. The number of districts in a small state is unlikely to be a very high number.
Select the option that matches the correct, known fact. The correct number of districts in Tripura is 8.
