Which one of the following is the correct seence of proved coal reserves in the Indian States in decreasing order?

According to the Geological Survey of India and the Ministry of Coal, the distribution of coal reserves in India follows a specific hierarchy. Jharkhand holds the largest share of coal reserves, accounting for approximately 26% to 29% of the national total [2]. It is followed by Odisha, which possesses about 24% to 25% of the reserves [4]. Chhattisgarh ranks third with approximately 17% to 18% of the total coal deposits [3]. West Bengal follows as the fourth major state, holding roughly 10% to 11% of the reserves, primarily centered around the historic Raniganj coalfield [3]. While Odisha has recently emerged as the leading producer of coal, Jharkhand remains the state with the highest 'proved' or geological reserves [1]. Therefore, the correct decreasing order of coal reserves is Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal.
