The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Thane.

According to Census 2011, Thane district in Maharashtra has the highest population among all districts in India, with a population of over 11 million. This rapid growth was attributed to urbanization and the district's proximity to Mumbai, making it a major residential and industrial hub.
