Correct:
D
Explanation
The pair Raniganj : Iron and steel industry is incorrectly matched. Raniganj, located in West Bengal, is historically significant as the birthplace of coal mining in India, where mining first commenced in 1774. It remains a major hub for coal production under the Raniganj Coalfield.
- Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh): It is a prominent center for the paper industry and is also famous for its wood carving industry.
- Chanderi (Madhya Pradesh): It is world-renowned for its traditional handloom industry, specifically the production of Chanderi cotton and silk sarees.
- Bhadohi (Uttar Pradesh): Known as the 'Carpet City,' it is home to the largest hand-knotted carpet weaving industry hub in South Asia and is a major exporter.
While iron and steel plants are located in the nearby Durgapur-Asansol industrial belt, Raniganj's primary industrial identity is coal.
