Correct Answer: Option A
Detailed Explanation:
Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar on 15 November 2000 as India's 28th state, created to address the long-standing demand for a separate state for the tribal-dominated southern region of Bihar.
The state was formed through the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000, encompassing 18 districts rich in mineral resources and tribal population.
Therefore, Jharkhand was created in 2000, making Option 1 the correct answer.
