The correct answer is option 1, Gujarat. Gujarat is the leading cotton producer in India.
Option 2, Maharashtra is also a significant cotton producer in India, but it is not the leading one.
Option 3, Andhra Pradesh is known for its rice production, not cotton.
Option 4, Madhya Pradesh is known for its soybean production, not cotton.
Gujarat`s favorable climate, availability of water, and government support for cotton cultivation have contributed to its position as the leading cotton producer in India.
