Solution
The correct option is B Iron and steel industry
India's steel
industry can be broadly classified into the primary and secondary
sectors. The primary sector contributes to the majority of steel
production in the country and is characterized by fully integrated producers
with ironmaking, steelmaking and rolling mills, where steelmaking is carried
out in an EAF or BOF. The secondary sector, on the other hand, uses
sponge iron and scrap to make steel in small induction furnaces (IF). The
sector is set-up in clusters and the majority of IF producers procure their
sponge iron feedstock from nearby manufacturers and pass on crude steel, mostly
in the form of pencil billets, to re-rollers.
