Hint: The National Integration Day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of the former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi.

Complete answer:
The different days celebrated are of some significance to the people of the country in which they’re celebrated.
Let’s look at our options one by one:
a. 14th November – This date marks the birth anniversary of the First Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He was born in 1889 and his birth anniversary is celebrated as Children's Day. So, it is an incorrect option.
b. 19th November – This day marks the birth anniversary of the First Lady Prime Minister of India, who was Indira Gandhi. Her birth anniversary is celebrated as the National Integration day across India as she had worked a lot in promoting unity among the diverse group of Indians. So, it is the correct option.
c. 1st November – This day marks the creation of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Mysore. The Karnataka day is still celebrated whereas the states of Mysore and Andhra Pradesh have lost their erstwhile status, hence this day is of little significance to them. So, it is an incorrect option.
d. None of these – The correct option is already available in the above three options. So, it is an incorrect option.

Note: Since the days are of significance in India, they can be remembered in a chronological order. The major mistakes in the question can be made by linking this day to Sardar Patel, who is out of the picture although he had a substantial role in the integration of India.
