Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Sikkim.
According to Census 2011, Sikkim is the least populated state in India. With a total population of around 6.07 lakh (607,688) people, Sikkim ranks lowest among all Indian states in terms of population. This small northeastern state is known for its beautiful landscapes, cultural diversity, and environmental richness. Despite its small size and low population, Sikkim has made significant progress in areas like organic farming, tourism, and education. The sparse population contributes to a better quality of life and lower population pressure on resources compared to more densely populated states like Uttar Pradesh or Bihar.
