Correct option is D
According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2019-21, Lakshadweep has the highest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) among the Union Territories of India. The Total Fertility Rate refers to the average number of children a woman is expected to have during her lifetime. In Lakshadweep, the TFR is higher compared to other Union Territories.
TFR is an important indicator of population growth and reproductive health.
A higher TFR indicates a population that is growing faster, which can affect resource allocation and development strategies.
The TFR in India has generally been declining over the years due to improvements in healthcare and family planning.
The TFR in Lakshadweep is attributed to cultural and demographic factors.
According to the NFHS, the TFR in most Union Territories is well below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman.
