The correct answer is Option 1, Karnataka. Karnataka is a state in southern India which is known for its production of silk textiles. In fact, it is the largest producer of silk textiles in the country, accounting for about 50 per cent of the total production in India. The state has a history of silk production dating back centuries and is particularly famous for its Mysore Silk, which is known for its high-quality and intricate designs. Karnataka`s conducive climatic conditions, availability of skilled artisans, and support from the government have contributed to its dominance in the silk textile industry. West Bengal, Jammu and Kashmir, and Assam are also known for their silk production, but they do not produce as much as Karnataka does.
