{'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'indian states': [5, 1, 5, 8], 'tribe population': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'nagaland': [25, 4, 15, 26], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'total population': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'highest percentage': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'mizoram': [6, 0, 7, 11]}

The correct answer to the question is option 1, Mizoram. Mizoram is the Indian state with the highest percentage of Scheduled Tribe population to its total population. Scheduled Tribes are communities or groups of people who are recognized as being socially and economically disadvantaged. They are given this status to ensure special protections and provisions for their upliftment and development.

While all of the options listed in the question have a significant population of Scheduled Tribes, Mizoram stands out as having the highest percentage. This means that a larger proportion of Mizoram`s total population belongs to Scheduled Tribes compared to the other states listed.

It is important to note that the population composition of each state may change over time, and therefore it is always recommended to refer to the latest official data for accurate information.
