One factor is the state&#8217;s strong economy, which has led to a high demand for female labor. Another factor is the state&#8217;s culture, which values women and girls. Finally, the state has taken steps to address the issue of female infanticide, which has helped to improve the sex ratio.<\/p>\n<p>The high sex ratio in Punjab is a positive development. It indicates that the state is doing well in terms of gender equality. However, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the state needs to ensure that all girls have access to education and healthcare. Additionally, the state needs to continue to address the issue of violence against women.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option (a): Among India&#8217;s highest. This is the correct answer. The sex ratio in Punjab is 976 females per 1000 males, which is higher than the national average of 940 females per 1000 males.<\/li>\n<li>Option (b): Slightly below the national average. This is not the correct answer. The sex ratio in Punjab is 976 females per 1000 males, which is higher than the national average of 940 females per 1000 males.<\/li>\n<li>Option (c): Significantly below the national average. This is not the correct answer. The sex ratio in Punjab is 976 females per 1000 males, which is higher than the national average of 940 females per 1000 males.<\/li>\n<li>Option (d): About equal to the national average. This is not the correct answer.
