The correct answer is C. Kerala.

Kerala was the first Indian state to release a state-level Human Development Report in 1995. The report was prepared by the State Planning Board of Kerala and was based on data from the 1991 census. The report found that Kerala had a high level of human development, with a high life expectancy, low infant mortality rate, and high literacy rate. The report also found that Kerala had a high level of gender equality, with a high female literacy rate and a low female-male ratio.

The report was well-received and led to a number of policy changes in Kerala. The state government increased spending on education and health, and implemented a number of programs to promote gender equality. As a result of these changes, Kerala’s human development indicators have continued to improve.
