Solution

Kerala- highest sex ratio

Explanation:

This pair is correct because Kerala consistently records the highest sex ratio in India, with more females than males in its population, due to high female literacy, progressive social reforms, and an excellent healthcare system. All the other options are paired incorrectly because a lack of education and male dominance lead to a skewed or low sex ratio, while Haryana (not Punjab) historically holds the lowest state sex ratio in the country.
