The correct answer is A) Malayalam
The language spoken in Lakshadweep island is Malayalam.
It is officially considered a dialect of Malayalam, but it has more similarities to Tamil. Malayalam and Mahl are the two prominent languages spoken in Lakshadweep.
During the British Raj, Malayalam with Malayalam script was introduced as the official language of Lakshadweep.
Additionally, a kind of Arabic script (Arabi Malayalam) had also been used in some parts of the islands.
Other languages spoken in Lakshadweep include Dhivehi, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindu, Kannada, and Tamil. The dialect of Malayalam spoken in Lakshadweep is quite distinct from the variant spoken in mainland India. The people of all the northern islands of Lakshadweep speak a dialect known as Jeseri (Dweep Bhasha).
