Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Lakshadweep. 

According to Census 2011, Lakshadweep has the highest literacy rate among the given options, with 91.85%. It is followed by Mizoram (91.33%), Tripura (87.22%), and Puducherry (85.85%).

Lakshadweep, a Union Territory, outperforms all states and most UTs due to its small population, better educational infrastructure, and effective government initiatives. Kerala, though not listed here, holds the highest literacy rate (94.00%) among all Indian states.

Thus, among the given choices, Lakshadweep leads with the highest literacy rate, reflecting its strong focus on education and development.
