Solution

The correct option is B Kudremukh
Chikkamagaluru district occupies the second position after Ballari in iron ore deposits. In this district, iron ore is mainly found in Bababudangiri hills, Kemmannugundi, Kudremukh, Gangamula, Kalhattagiri, and Jenusuri hillocks. Since Kudremukh is also famous for its National Park, the Supreme Court has ordered mining activities to be stopped in this place.
