Solution

The correct option is D cotton textiles
The first cotton cloth mill in India was established in 1818 at Kolkata. And the 2nd mill established by KGN Saber in 1854 laid the base for the further development. It is since then India is involved into cotton and textile industry. Now this sector contributes 4% of the GDP, and our country is the second largest producer of fibre in the world.
