D
Correct answer
Explanation
Haryana has the lowest forest cover among Indian states at approximately 3.6%, as it lies in the fertile plains region where most land is under agriculture. Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh have significantly higher forest coverage. The state's geographical position in the Indo-Gangetic plain contributes to this low forest density.
