Why is the Chota Nagpur Plateau called the mineral heartland of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is rich in minerals like coal and iron ore

The governing concept is the relationship between a plateau’s geological structure and its mineral resources. The Chota Nagpur Plateau, spread mainly across Jharkhand and adjoining areas, contains extensive deposits of coal, iron ore, mica, bauxite and other minerals. These resources support iron-and-steel plants, power generation and several heavy industries, which explains the expression mineral heartland. Therefore, option C is correct. Rice deltas are depositional lowlands, sea salt is associated with coastal environments, and coral islands are marine landforms; none explains the plateau’s economic and geological importance.
