D Correct answer
Explanation

Orissa (now Odisha) has historically had one of the highest percentages of population living below the poverty line among Indian states. This is due to factors including lower industrial development, high tribal population in remote areas, and frequent natural disasters affecting coastal regions. While other states listed also have BPL populations, Orissa consistently ranked highest in BPL ratios during the period this question refers to.
