    Answer: Seven

    Explanation: Before the Twenty-Fifth Amendment of 2018, FATA comprised seven tribal agencies — Khyber, Kurram, Orakzai, Mohmand, Bajaur, North Waziristan, and South Waziristan — a number firmly embedded in civics syllabuses and administrative memory. These agencies, along with six Frontier Regions, were merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through the amendment.
