DJammu and Kashmir

Correct answer: (C) Madhya Pradesh

Explanation

Madhya Pradesh is called the Tiger State of India for holding the largest population of wild tigers.

Rajasthan is known for its desert and forts and tiger reserves like Ranthambore, but it is not the Tiger State.

Gujarat is famous for the Asiatic lion of Gir, not for the tiger title.

Jammu and Kashmir is associated with the hangul deer, not with the largest tiger numbers.

Reserves such as Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Pench sustain the state's high tiger count.

Madhya Pradesh has repeatedly topped national tiger census figures.
