Solution

Bihar

Explanation:

Bihar has the highest population density among all Indian states, with 1,106 persons per square kilometre. It surpassed West Bengal, which ranks second at 1,028 persons per square kilometre. The extreme density in Bihar is primarily driven by its location in the highly fertile Indo-Gangetic plains, which support intensive agriculture, combined with a large absolute population living within a relatively compact land area.
