Correct Answer: B. Part VIII
Explanation: Part VIII of the Indian Constitution, comprising Articles 239 to 242, specifically outlines the provisions for the administration of Union Territories. These regions are governed directly by the Union government through an administrator or Lieutenant Governor appointed by the President. While most Union Territories are under direct central control, certain ones like Delhi and Puducherry have been granted their own legislative assemblies. This administrative structure ensures that the central government maintains oversight of areas with unique strategic, historical, or geographical requirements. Under Article 239, the President acts as the chief administrator, and the Parliament holds the power to create or modify the legislative frameworks for these territories.
