Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution
The correct matching is—Aluminium–Jaykaynagar, Copper–Malanjkhand, Zinc–Tundoo and Jute–Bhatpara.
Jaykaynagar is associated with the industrial region of West Bengal, where the works of the Aluminium Corporation of India were established. Therefore, Aluminium is matched with Jaykaynagar.
Malanjkhand, located in Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh, is an extremely important copper-mining centre of India. The Malanjkhand Copper Project is located here. It contains one of India's largest copper deposits and is one of the major mining units of Hindustan Copper Limited.
Tundoo, associated with the Dhanbad region of Jharkhand, was an old lead-zinc metallurgical centre. The Tundoo Lead Smelter associated with Hindustan Zinc was established here. In the question, Zinc industry is therefore matched with Tundoo.
Bhatpara forms part of the Hooghly industrial belt of West Bengal and has long contained several jute mills. The availability of river water, transport, Kolkata port, labour and proximity to raw-jute producing areas contributed to the development of the jute industry along the Hooghly.
For examination purposes, remember the chain—Jaykaynagar–Aluminium, Malanjkhand–Copper, Tundoo–Zinc, Bhatpara–Jute. Also remember Malanjkhand → Balaghat → Madhya Pradesh → Copper.
