The correct answer is option 2 - Gujarat. Rani-ki-Vav is a stepwell located in the town of Patan in the Gujarat state of India. It was approved as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently.

A stepwell is a type of well or pond with stairs leading down to the water source. Rani-ki-Vav is known for its intricate and ornate architecture, which includes sculptures, carvings, and elaborate detailing. It is considered one of the finest examples of stepwell architecture in India.

Rajasthan is incorrectly mentioned as option 1. Although there are several stepwells in Rajasthan (like Chand Baori in Abhaneri), Rani-ki-Vav is not located in Rajasthan but in Gujarat.

Madhya Pradesh is incorrectly mentioned as option 3. Maharashtra is incorrectly mentioned as option 4. Rani-ki-Vav is not located in either of these states.
