Correct Answer: (b) Bihar
Note: During the question period, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of Uttar Pradesh was higher than all other States of India. According to the data of NFHS-5 (2019-21), the four States with the highest total fertility rates are: Bihar (3.0), Meghalaya (2.9), Uttar Pradesh (2.4) and Jharkhand (2.3), while the States with the lowest TFRs are Sikkim (1.1) and Goa (1.3). Hence, it is clear that, at present, the total fertility rate of Bihar is higher than all other States in India. The TFR of the country declined to 2.2 in 2018 (SRS) and as per NFHS-5 (2019-21) it is now reduced to 2.0.2
