Previous Year Question

This question has a factual issue. Malayalam is widely spoken in Lakshadweep, and according to the Lakshadweep Administration, it is spoken on all islands except Minicoy, where Mahl is an important local language.
However, the Lakshadweep Administration stated before the Kerala High Court in 2021 that Malayalam had not been formally adopted as the official language of the Union Territory. Therefore, (d) Malayalam is the expected answer, but the use of the term “official language” in the question is factually problematic.
