The correct answer is C) Maharashtra—Kerala—Mizoram—Goa.

Based on the 2011 Census of India data for the percentage of urban population, the approximate percentages for the states listed are: Maharashtra (45.2%), Kerala (47.7%), Tamil Nadu (48.4%), Mizoram (52.1%), and Goa (62.2%). Arranging the states given in option C in ascending order of urban population percentage gives Maharashtra (45.2%) < Kerala (47.7%) < Mizoram (52.1%) < Goa (62.2%). This is a correct ascending sequence among the options provided.

Urbanization levels vary significantly across Indian states. States like Goa and Mizoram, despite their smaller populations, have relatively high percentages of urban residents compared to many larger states. Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are among the most urbanized large states. The ascending sequence in option C correctly reflects the relative positions of these states in terms of urban population percentage according to the 2011 census.
