A. Lakshadweep
B. Puducherry✓ Correct Answer
C. Daman and Diu
D. Andaman and Nicobar Islands
💡 Solution & Explanation
Puducherry is unique because its constituent districts are scattered across three different states, with territory facing both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. By contrast, Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands are confined entirely to single maritime zones. This administrative setup is a legacy of French colonial possessions in India.
