D Correct answer
Explanation

Jammu and Kashmir had a special constitutional position under Article 370. Unlike other states where President's rule is imposed under Article 356, J&K could be placed under Governor's rule under Section 92 of its constitution. This provision was specific to J&K's autonomous status. Pondicherry (now Puducherry) is a Union Territory, while Mizoram and Manipur are regular states.
