In India, cluster bean (Guar) is traditionally used as a vegetable or animal feed, but recently the cultivation of this has assumed significance. Which one of the following statements is correct in this context?

Guar gum, derived from the seeds of the cluster bean, is used as a thickening agent in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to facilitate the extraction of shale gas from deep rock formations. While many oilseeds are associated with biofuels, Guar is not a source of high-quality biodiesel, which is a role typically served by crops like Jatropha. The core concept tested is the industrial application of agricultural commodities and India’s significant role in the global supply chain for energy-related technologies.
