keywords: 

{'haryana': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'lowest area': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'rajasthan': [0, 0, 1, 18], 'gujarat': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'forest': [9, 1, 6, 21], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2 - Haryana. Haryana has the lowest area under forest among the given states of India.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answer:

Option 1 - Gujarat: Gujarat is known for its diverse ecosystem and has a significant forest cover. It is home to various protected areas and national parks. Therefore, Gujarat cannot be the correct answer.

Option 3 - Punjab: Punjab is known for its agricultural activities and has some forest areas as well. While the forest cover in Punjab may not be as extensive as in other states, it is not the state with the lowest forest area among the given options.

Option 4 - Rajasthan: Rajasthan, being a large state with diverse topography, has some areas under forest cover. Although the forest cover in Rajasthan may not be extensive compared to other states, it is also not the state with the lowest forest area among the given options.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - Haryana, as it has the lowest area under forest among the listed states.
