CDS-I

stats: 

0,25,21,7,6,25,8

keywords: 

{'karnataka': [5, 0, 6, 5], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'maharashtra': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'urban population': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'gujarat': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'highest percentage': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'census': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3, Maharashtra. According to the 2001 Census, out of all the given states, Maharashtra had the highest percentage of urban population. This means that a larger proportion of the total population in Maharashtra lived in urban areas compared to the other states mentioned.

To understand this further, let`s analyze the options:

- Option 1, Gujarat: The urban population in Gujarat was not the highest as per the 2001 Census data, so this option can be eliminated.

- Option 2, Karnataka: Similar to Gujarat, Karnataka did not have the highest percentage of urban population as well.

- Option 3, Maharashtra: This is the correct answer. Maharashtra had the highest percentage of urban population as per the 2001 Census.

- Option 4, Tamil Nadu: Although Tamil Nadu is a highly urbanized state, it did not have the highest percentage of urban population as per the 2001 Census.

Therefore, option 3, Maharashtra, is the correct answer.
