Solution

The correct option is D Mica

For over hundred years, India had enjoyed monopoly in production and export of sheet mica in the world. Of late, there has been a steep decline in mica production in India, largely due to technological improvements that facilitate use of reconstructed mica and emergence of mica substitutes consequently resulting into fall in the demand of natural mica in the world market. Still India stays at a higher position in the list of largest producers of mica in the world.
