B Correct answer
Explanation

Sikkim has the highest percentage of small population (population <200) due to its mountainous terrain and numerous scattered hamlets. The tiny Himalayan state has many remote villages with very small populations. Jammu and Kashmir has some remote areas but also large urban centers. Himachal Pradesh has small settlements but not as high a percentage as Sikkim. Manipur has more concentrated populations in the Imphal valley. Sikkim's unique geography and settlement patterns make it exceptional for this metric.
