The question asks about the state in India with the highest slum population. According to the survey conducted by a high-level committee set-up by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, Maharashtra was identified as the state with the highest slum population.

Let`s analyze the other options:

Option 1: Andhra Pradesh - This state was not identified as having the highest slum population according to the survey.

Option 2: Madhya Pradesh - This state was not identified as having the highest slum population according to the survey.

Option 4: Tamil Nadu - This state was not identified as having the highest slum population according to the survey.

Therefore, option 3, Maharashtra, is the correct answer according to the information provided.

Overall, it is important to note that the answer is based on the survey conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation. It is possible that the slum populations may change over time, so the answer may not be true for all periods.
