{'lowest sex ratio': [2, 1, 1, 0], 'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'haryana': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'bihar': [1, 0, 2, 2], 'census': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41]}

Option 1 states that Kerala has the highest sex ratio and Haryana has the lowest sex ratio, as per the census. A sex ratio is calculated by dividing the number of females by the number of males in a given population. Kerala is known to have a high sex ratio, indicating a higher number of females compared to males. On the other hand, Haryana has a low sex ratio, which means there are fewer females compared to males in the state. Himachal Pradesh and Punjab are mentioned in option 2 but there is no information given about their sex ratios. Similarly, option 3 mentions Meghalaya and Bihar without providing any information about their sex ratios. Option 4 mentions Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, again without giving any details about their respective sex ratios. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
