• B. Karnataka-Kudremukh
• C. Madhya Pradesh-Ratnagiri
• D. Chhattisgarh - Bailadila

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Madhya Pradesh-Ratnagiri

major iron ore belts in India are: • Odisha: Known for high-grade hematite ores, particularly in the Mayurbhanj and Kendujhar districts. The Gua and Barajamda areas are also important. • Jharkhand: Rich deposits are found in the Noamundi and Gua regions of the Singhbhum district. • Chhattisgarh: Major production comes from the Bailadila range in the Dantewada district and the Dalli-Rajhara range. • Karnataka: The Sandur-Hospet region in Bellary district and the Chikmagalur district are key producing areas. • Goa: Significant production, primarily exported through Mormugao port. • Madhya Pradesh: While iron ore is found, it is not a primary producing region compared to the others. Deposits exist in Jabalpur and Rewa districts. • Maharashtra: The Ratnagiri district has some iron ore deposits, but it is not a major production hub for iron ore in India.
