Correct Option (B)

Kacchativu is an uninhabited island in the Palk Strait that was ceded by India to Sri Lanka in1974through theIndo-Sri Lankan Maritime Boundary Agreement. TheTin Bigha Corridoris a strip of land on the India-Bangladesh border that was leased by India to Bangladesh in1992to provide access for Bangladesh to its Dahagram-Angarpota enclaves. Therefore, both territories were transferred by theGovernment of Indiato the sovereignty of neighbouring countries.

Incorrect Options

Kacchativu and Tin Bigha were not territories acquired by India from the French. Territories like Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe, and Yanam were acquired from the French.
These territories were not annexed by China during the 1962 Sino-Indian War. The 1962 conflict primarily involved border areas in Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh (then NEFA).
Kacchativu and Tin Bigha were not transferred to India by lease arrangements. Instead, Kacchativu was ceded to Sri Lanka, and Tin Bigha was leased by India to Bangladesh.
