Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Lakshdweep.
As per the Census of India 2011, the Union Territory with the lowest population is Lakshadweep, with around 64,473 people. It is India’s smallest Union Territory by population as well as by area. In comparison, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands had over 3.7 lakh people, while Delhi had more than 1.6 crore, making it the most populated Union Territory. Lakshadweep’s small population is due to its limited land area, scattered islands, and restricted settlement capacity.
