Solution
The correct option is B Gangetic plain In India sugarcane is mainly produced in Uttar Pradesh. Transporting the sugarcane over long distances can be a costly exercise. The sucrose content starts decreasing after cutting and hence must be quickly transported. The soil and water available in the gangetic plain are perfect for the crop and hence sugar from sugarcane is mainly produced there.
