D) 1, 2, 3
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Jharkhand used to be the largest producer of copper till early 1980s but has lost much importance and has slipped to third position after Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The state's share of copper ore production has fallen from 67% of India's total production in 1977-71 to a low of 11% in 2011-12. About 92% of India's nickel resources are in Odisha. The distribution of tungsten resources are in Karnataka (42%), Rajasthan (27%), Andhra Pradesh (17%), and Maharashtra (9%). Kerala's resources are negligibly small.
