Answer : 4. "Ministry of External Affairs"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Ministry of External Affairs Explanation: Foreign Affairs Ministry has turned down the proposal to rename West Bengal to ‘Bangla’, citing diplomatic confusion over similarities with the neighbouring country Bangladesh, according to reports.
