    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    This region is located on the Chotanagpur plateau and extends over Jharkhand, Northern Orissa and western part of West Bengal. The birth and growth of this region is linked with the discovery of coal in Damodar Valley and iron ore in the Jharkhand-Orissa mineral belt. As both are found in close proximity, the region is known as the ‘Ruhr of India’.
