keywords: 

{'sex ratio': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'lowest child': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'chhattisgarh': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'census': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

Among the given options, Haryana has the lowest child-sex ratio as per the 2011 census. Child-sex ratio refers to the number of girls per 1000 boys in the age group of 0-6 years. A lower child-sex ratio indicates a higher preference for male children and can be an indicator of gender discrimination and female infanticide.

Chhattisgarh, Punjab, and Kerala are the other options provided, but Haryana has the lowest child-sex ratio among them. It is worth noting that this data is based on the 2011 census and might have changed since then.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4 - Haryana.
