Solution

The correct options are
B Assam
D West Bengal
Hot and humid climate is ideal for the growth of jute. High temperature and average rainfall above 150 cm are essential for jute production. Jute also requires well-drained alluvial soil to grow. The very specific requirements make jute cultivation confined to West Bengal, Assam, and some parts of Odisha.
