Complete answer:
Literacy rate is the percentage of the population of any specific age group that can read and write. Literacy is a major factor that helps in the development of a nation and the government has taken many steps to ensure that access to education is provided to as many people as possible within the country. It is a difficult process, since the factors hindering the people from getting educated are of various types. The government of India regularly conducts census to find areas with low literacy rates so that special steps can be taken to overcome the difficulties in those areas. Let us now take a look at how each of the given districts fare in the literacy rate-

A. Mahaboob Nagar is a district in Telangana within which lies the second largest city of the state. The literacy rate of this district is among the average ranks. Thus, this is not the correct option.
B. Karimnagar in Telangana is a district with above average literacy rate. It has a rate of 69.16%. Therefore, this is not the correct answer.
C. Jogulamba Gadwal has a literacy rate of only 49.9%. Therefore, it is the district with the lowest literacy rate in the state of Telangana.
D. Rangareddy district in Telangana also has an average literacy rate. Therefore it is not the district with the least literacy rate.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

The Hyderabad district in Telangana has the highest literacy rate of the state. Mahaboob Nagar is named after the 6th Nawab of the erstwhile independent state of Hyderabad, Mir Mahbub Ali Khan.
