Correct:
A
Explanation
Assam is home to four major oil refineries: Digboi, Guwahati (Noonmati), Bongaigaon, and Numaligarh [3]. Digboi is the oldest operating refinery in India, established in 1901. The Bongaigaon refinery was established to process crude oil from the Naharkatiya and Lakwa fields [1], while the Numaligarh refinery was commissioned in 1999. In contrast, the Tatipaka refinery is not located in Assam; it is a mini-refinery operated by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) situated in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh [4]. Therefore, while Numaligarh, Bongaigaon, and Digboi are integral to the petroleum industry in Assam, Tatipaka belongs to the Krishna-Godavari basin in southern India.
