Consider the following States: 1. Andhra Pradesh 2. Kerala 3. Himachal Pradesh 4. Tripura How many of the above are generally known as tea-producing States?
A
Only one State
B
Only two States
C
Only three States
Correct Answer
D
All four States
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because Kerala (Munnar), Himachal Pradesh (Kangra), and Tripura are well-established tea-producing regions with significant commercial output. While option (d) might be tempting, Andhra Pradesh is generally known for coffee cultivation in the Araku Valley rather than tea production. The core concept being tested is the geographical distribution of commercial plantation crops and the identification of major versus minor producing states in India.
