Correct:
A
Explanation
The provided sources indicate India has a substantially higher average population density than the other listed South Asian countries. A textbook figure gives India’s density as 382 persons per sq. km (2011) and notes that only Bangladesh and Japan exceed India’s average density, implying India is the densest among typical South Asian peers [1]. A regional report similarly characterises India’s density as “almost 400 people/sq km” while listing Nepal at about 193.9 people/sq km, which is well below India’s level [2]. Therefore, among the options (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), India has the highest population density.
