Solution

The correct option is B Energy resources
Energy resources consume around 70% of coal in India. India is still dependent on thermal power which accounts for almost 60% of electricity production in India, with hydroelectricity(15%) a distant second. Iron and steel plants consume only 7% of coal in India. After electrification of railways lines, their consumption of coal is highly reduced.
