Solution

The correct option is D Jalandhar
India is the seventh-largest producer of wool in the world with a global production share of nearly 1.8 percent. Punjab leads all other states in manufacturing woolen goods. Dhariwal is the largest centre. The other centres are Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Kharar. The industry enjoys the benefit of hydroelectricity from Bhakhra Nangal Dam and wool from Kashmir and Kumaon regions.
