Explanation:

Here’s the thing—when we look at the literacy rate for the Scheduled Tribes (ST) in India from the Periodic Labour Force Survey (2019-20), here’s what those numbers are really saying:

- Option 1: 70.10%

Sounds promising, but it's the overall literacy rate in India, not specifically for STs.

- Option 2: 65.30%

This is close, but a little high for STs when compared to official data.

- Option 3: 57.40%

This is right. The literacy rate among Scheduled Tribes in India, as per the PLFS 2019-20, is around 57.4%. This is lower than the national average because of limited access to educational resources in many tribal areas.

- Option 4: 83.28%

That’s much higher than any reported number for STs and actually exceeds the national urban average, so it’s off the mark.

- Option 5: None of the above

Not correct, because option 3 nails it.

So, the correct answer is Option 3: 57.40%.
