Explanation

The correct answer is B because it reflects the economic ranking of these states based on Per Capita Net State Domestic Product. According to recent economic data, Maharashtra typically leads this group due to its massive industrial base and service sector. Gujarat follows closely, driven by its strong manufacturing and petroleum industries. Karnataka ranks third, largely supported by its dominant information technology and services hub in Bangalore. Tamil Nadu, while highly industrialized and developed, generally ranks fourth among these specific four states in terms of per capita income. Therefore, the descending order is Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
