Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Chhattisgarh contains all four minerals listed. Bauxite occurs in Chhattisgarh’s Maikal Range and Amarkantak Plateau and is quoted among the state’s bauxite-producing centres [1]. High-grade iron ore is abundant in the state—famous deposits include Dalli Rajhara and the Bailadila range in Bastar, supplying major steel plants [2]. The state is also reported as a leading producer (and sole producer nationally for concentrates) of tin and is listed among states with significant dolomite occurrences; official and geological summaries identify tin and dolomite among Chhattisgarh’s principal minerals [3]. Therefore, bauxite, dolomite, iron ore and tin all occur naturally in Chhattisgarh, making option 4 correct.
