B Correct answer
Explanation

Jammu and Kashmir historically maintained two capitals: Srinagar served as the summer capital while Jammu functioned as the winter capital. This practice, known as the 'Durbar Move,' was implemented due to the extreme weather conditions in the Kashmir Valley, with the government literally moving between the two cities seasonally. This unique arrangement made J&K distinctive among Indian states until Jammu and Kashmir was reorganized as a Union Territory in 2019.
