A Correct answer
Explanation

Tamil Nadu has the highest urbanization rate among major Indian states, with approximately 48% of its population living in urban areas according to census data. This is significantly higher than states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka, which typically have urbanization rates in the 35-45% range. Punjab also has high urbanization but still trails Tamil Nadu. The high urbanization in Tamil Nadu is driven by extensive industrial development and significant migration to cities like Chennai and Coimbatore.
