    Solution

    The report highlights that women's voter participation has increased significantly and surpassed men’s turnout in the 2019 elections. Therefore, option C, which states that women’s voter participation has decreased compared to men’s turnout, is not consistent with the trends reported in the "Women and Men in India 2023" publication.
