The correct answer is Option B (Only b is correct).

Key Points:
• PLFS Data (2020-21): The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) is released by the National Statistical Office (NSO). The survey period from July 2020 to June 2021 captures the employment scenarios during the pandemic's second wave.
• Statement (a) Analysis: According to the PLFS 2020-21 data, Uttarakhand and Kerala recorded some of the highest urban unemployment rates (around 10% to 11%), not Rajasthan. Thus, statement 'a' is incorrect.
• Statement (b) Analysis: In the same survey period, Sikkim alongside states like Gujarat recorded the lowest urban unemployment rates in the country, demonstrating relatively stable urban labor markets in these regions. Therefore, statement 'b' is factually correct as per the official dataset.
• Conclusion: Only statement 'b' correctly matches the official PLFS data for that specific time frame.
• Key Takeaway: According to PLFS (July 2020-June 2021), Sikkim recorded the lowest urban unemployment rate in India. Rajasthan did not have the highest.
