Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B India is the largest exporter of jute in the world.
C Demand for jute has increased over the years.

India’s first jute mill was set up at Rishra near Kolkata in 1855. Most of the jute mills are along the banks of the Hugli river in West Bengal. Bangladesh is the largest exporter of jute in the world, not India. Demand for jute has decreased over the years due to availability of other packing material for goods.
