Answer: D
The proposed single name is Bangla.
In 2016 the West Bengal Assembly proposed three names, Bengal in English, Bangal in Hindi and Bangla in Bengali, which the Centre did not accept. In July 2018 the Assembly passed a resolution to rename the state 'Bangla' in all three languages.
Bengal and Bangal were two of the earlier three-language proposals, and 'Bengali' is the name of the language and people, not the proposed name of the state.
