In which year was the State Reorganisation Act passed?

1956

The correct answer is Option (1) → 1956

"..The formation of Andhra spurred the struggle for making of other states on linguistic lines in other parts of the country. These struggles forced the Central Government into appointing a States reorganisation Commission in 1953 to look into the question of redrawing of the boundaries of states. The Commission in its report accepted that the boundaries of the state should reflect the boundaries of different languages. On the basis of its report the States reorganisation Act was passed in 1956. This led to the creation of 14 states and six union territories.".
