Correct answer: Meghalaya

Explanation: The correct answer is A. Meghalaya. The Khasi and Garo tribes are indigenous ethnic groups mainly found in the state of Meghalaya in Northeast India. The Khasis mostly inhabit the Khasi Hills, while the Garos reside in the Garo Hills. These tribes follow a matrilineal system, where lineage and inheritance pass through the mother's side. Their culture, language, and festivals are distinct from other tribal communities in India. Meghalaya is also home to the Jaintia tribe, making it a culturally diverse tribal state.
