Model Answer
(C) Odisha, Bihar, Haryana, Kerala
Life Expectancy values: Odisha (68.4) < Bihar (68.9) < Haryana (69.7) < Kerala (75.2) — arranged from lower to higher.
Explanation
The question asks for ascending order (lower to higher). Simply rank the four states by their Life Expectancy at Birth values from the table: 68.4 → 68.9 → 69.7 → 75.2, giving Odisha → Bihar → Haryana → Kerala. Option C matches this exactly.
