  2. b.Arunachal Pradesh
  3. c.Himachal Pradesh

Answer: (B) Arunachal Pradesh

Answer as of 2023 — this may have changed since.

Arunachal Pradesh has the lowest population density of any Indian State — 17 persons per sq km in the 2011 Census. Sikkim (86), Himachal Pradesh (123) and Madhya Pradesh (236) are all denser. The question says '2021 Census', but the 2021 Census was not held; the figures are from the 2011 Census.
