The correct answer is option 1, Andhra Pradesh. This state is known as the `Rice Bowl` of India because it is the largest producer of rice in the country. Andhra Pradesh has fertile soil, a suitable climate, and abundant water resources, which makes it ideal for rice cultivation. The state`s agricultural practices and irrigation systems contribute to its high rice production. Although options 2 (Tamil Nadu), 3 (Kerala), and 4 (Karnataka) are all states in South India, they are not as famous for rice production as Andhra Pradesh. Tamil Nadu, for example, is known for its production of other crops like tea, coffee, and spices.
