Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2) based on the geographical distribution of mineral resources in India:

  • Uranium (A-3): The Singhbhum Thrust Belt in Jharkhand is India's most significant uranium mining hub, notably the Jaduguda mines.
  • Thorium (B-4): India possesses the world's largest thorium reserves, primarily found in monazite sands along the Travancore coast (Kerala).
  • Copper (C-1): While Singhbhum also has copper, Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh is a recognized site for copper deposits, alongside its gold reserves.
  • Bauxite (D-2): Belgaum in Karnataka is a major center for bauxite mining, supplying raw material to the aluminum industry.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect as they misplace Uranium in Belgaum. Option 4 is incorrect because it incorrectly associates Thorium with Anantapur. Only Option 3 accurately aligns each mineral with its primary or historic extraction site.
