{'indian states': [5, 1, 5, 8], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'karnataka': [5, 0, 6, 5], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'rubber': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'production': [16, 4, 20, 51]}

The correct answer is option 3, Kerala. Kerala is the leading Indian state in the production of rubber.

Option 1, Tamil Nadu, is not the correct answer. While Tamil Nadu does have rubber plantations, its production is not as high as Kerala.

Option 2, Karnataka, is also not the correct answer. Karnataka does have some rubber production, but it is not the leading state in terms of rubber production.

Option 4, Andhra Pradesh, is not the correct answer either. Andhra Pradesh does not have significant rubber production compared to Kerala.

Rubber is a major commodity in Kerala, with a large number of rubber plantations spread across the state. The tropical climate of Kerala is well-suited for rubber cultivation, and farmers in the state have been engaged in rubber cultivation for many years. The state government also supports rubber farmers through various schemes and initiatives, further boosting rubber production in Kerala.

In summary, Kerala is the leading Indian state in the production of rubber, making option 3 the correct answer.
