Solution

The correct option is D Gypsum
India produced around 2.5 % of the world's 146 million tons of natural gypsum in 2010. India is depleting the mineable gypsum, but has total recoverable cement and plaster grade gypsum reserves of 54 million tons of gypsum (as per 2005). The majority of this is located in Rajasthan (over 97 % of the total reserves).
The correct answer is D.
