What is the main geographical reason for linking Chota Nagpur Plateau with iron and steel industries?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Proximity of mineral ores and coal

Iron and steel plants need large quantities of iron ore, coal, limestone, and other materials. These inputs are heavy and expensive to transport over long distances, while coal supplies the energy needed for processing. The Chota Nagpur Plateau and nearby regions have major deposits of iron ore and coal, along with other minerals and transport connections. Locating basic industries near these resources reduces the cost and difficulty of bringing raw materials to the plant.

Therefore, option B is correct: the important geographical reason is the proximity of mineral ores and coal. Coastal humidity and ports may help some industries, but they are not the main reason for this plateau’s iron and steel concentration. Glacial ice, coral reefs, and lagoons have no relevant connection with the required raw materials or energy supply.
