Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

According to the India State of Forest Report (ISFR) 2021 and 2023, Mizoram has the highest proportion of area under forest cover among Indian states, with approximately 84.53% to 85.34% of its geographical area being forested [2]. While Madhya Pradesh has the largest forest cover in terms of absolute area, it does not lead in terms of percentage or proportion [2]. Other northeastern states like Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh also maintain high proportions (above 75%), but they remain lower than Mizoram [4]. Among Union Territories, Lakshadweep holds the highest percentage overall at approximately 90.33% to 91.33% [2]. However, specifically among the states listed in the options, Mizoram is the clear leader in forest cover proportion [1].
