Identify the place that is not an oil field:

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Based on the provided geographical data, Naharkatiya is a significant oil field in Assam, located approximately 35 km southwest of Digboi, with production starting in 1954 [3]. Ankleshwar is the most important oil field in Gujarat, situated in the Bharuch district, and is known for its high-quality gasoline and kerosene [4]. Kalol is also a major oil-producing region in Gujarat, specifically within the Ahmedabad-Kalol region [3]. In contrast, Ledo is primarily known as a coal-mining center in the Tinsukia district of Assam, rather than a major oil field. While the context mentions various oil fields in the Brahmaputra valley and Gujarat, such as Digboi, Moran, and Mehsana, it does not list Ledo as an oil-producing site [4]. Therefore, Ledo is the correct answer as it is not an oil field.
