Solution

The correct option is B West Bengal
Jute is a rain-fed crop with little need for fertilizer or pesticides, in contrast to cotton's heavy requirements. Production is concentrated mostly in India's state of Assam, Bihar, West Bengal and Bangladesh. The jute fibre comes from the stem and ribbon (outer skin) of the jute plant. West Bengal is the largest producer of jute than Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
