Solution

The correct option is C Chennai, 1904
The cement industry is vital to building our cities and towns. The first Indian cement plant was established near Chennai in 1904. Cement industries expanded to other parts of the country in subsequent years. Bulky and heavy raw materials like limestone, silica, and gypsum are required for operating cement industries. For that purpose, the industry needs to be set up in near proximity to places that supply raw materials.
