The child sex ratio in Kerala is ____ that in Punjab.
Answer: D
The answer is D: it cannot be concluded from the excerpt.
The excerpt says that, with the exception of Kerala, the child sex ratio has declined in all the States, and that it is below 800 female children per thousand male children in Haryana and Punjab. It does not give a child sex ratio for Kerala, only that it did not decline, so nothing in the excerpt allows Kerala's ratio to be compared with Punjab's.
Options A, B and C each state a comparison. One may think Kerala's figure is higher, but that comes from outside knowledge, and the question asks for what the excerpt supports.
