{'correct descending order': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'forest area': [0, 1, 1, 2], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'karnataka': [5, 0, 6, 5], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'total area': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'percentage': [1, 2, 2, 3]}

Option 1: 1-2-4-3

This option suggests that Karnataka has the highest percentage of forest area, followed by Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. However, this is not the correct order because Karnataka does not have the highest percentage of forest area among these states.

Option 2: 3-1-2-4

This option suggests that Kerala has the highest percentage of forest area, followed by Karnataka, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. This is the correct descending order because Kerala indeed has the highest percentage of forest area among these states.

Option 3: 3-2-1-4

This option also suggests that Kerala has the highest percentage of forest area, followed by Odisha, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. This is the correct descending order.

Option 4: 2-3-1-4

This option suggests that Odisha has the highest percentage of forest area, followed by Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. This is not the correct order because Odisha does not have the highest percentage of forest area among these states.

Therefore, the correct descending order of the percentage of forest area in relation to the total area of the state is option 3: 3-2-
