The correct answer for the location where the Geological Survey of India has located most of India`s chromite is Cuttack, which is option 1. It is important to note that chromite is an important mineral resource used in the production of stainless steel and other alloys. Cuttack, located in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, is a major hub for chromite mining and has a significant deposit of this mineral. This area has been extensively studied and surveyed by the Geological Survey of India, which is responsible for identifying and mapping mineral resources across the country. It is in Cuttack that the largest concentration of chromite deposits in India has been found, making it an important location for chromite extraction.
