B. Madhya Pradesh
C. Arunachal Pradesh
D. Andhra Pradesh

Answer 1

Hint:
- Tribe can be defined as a social community made up of several families, tribes, or generations, as well as slaves, dependents, or adopted strangers.
- Anthropologists often compare it to other social and kinship groups, observing that it is larger than a lineage or clan but smaller than a chiefdom, government, or state in terms of hierarchy.

Complete answer:
- The word tribe is used to describe a type of human social group in a variety of contexts. The concept is most widely used in the field of anthropology.
- The Abor tribe is also known as the Adi people. In the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, the Adi people are one of the most populated indigenous peoples. A few thousand live in the Tibet Autonomous Region (formerly Tibet), where they are known as the Lhoba, alongside some Nishi, Na, Galo, Mishmi, and Tagin people.
- The Adi people's current ecosystem is strongly influenced by the ancient Lhoyu's historic position. They can be found in Arunachal Pradesh's Siang, East Siang, Upper Siang, West Siang, Lower Dibang Valley, Lohit, Shi Yomi, and Namsai districts in temperate and sub-tropical climates.
- The Adi people's languages and dialects are divided into two categories: Abor (Abor-Minyong, Bor-Abor (Padam), Abor-Miri, and so on) and Lhoba (Lho-Pa), Luoba.
- Gao Burra presiding over the village council, which also serves as a traditional court known as a Kebang. The olden-day councils were made up of all the village elders, and decisions were made in a Mashup/Dere (village community house), with the majority of them living in stilted homes.

From the above discussion, we can conclude that option C is the correct answer.

Note:
- Aran, Donggin, Solung, Podi Barbii, and Etor are among the most popular festivals held by the Adi.
- The slow, rustic, and enchanting Ponung style (performed during the Solung festival) to the exhilarating, exuberant thumps of Delong (performed by men during the Etor festival) are all examples of Adi dances.
- The tribal Donyi-Polo religion is practised by the majority of Adi. A shaman named Miri leads the worship of gods and goddesses such as Kine Nane, Doying Bote, Gumin Soyin, and Pedong Nane, among others, as well as religious observances.
