• Alwaye, Renukoot and Muri are the centres of aluminium smelters.
  

Coimbatore is called the "Manchester of South India" due to its extensive textile industry, fed by the surrounding cotton fields.

Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, natural gas etc. These are used to generate energy for transportation cooking and many other. Such actions release particulate matter which includes suspended chemical compounds like oxides of sulphur and nitrogen and dangerous gases like carbonmonooxides.

• Though industrial development in India caused enormous improvement in India’s economy, it also proved disastrous to the environment.
  
• Industries cause air pollution due to the smoke released from factories.
  
• They also cause water pollution due to the draining of industrial wastes into water bodies causing problems to marine and human life.
  
• Industries create high decibel noises paving a way to noise pollution creating anxiety, hypertension especially among old people and patients.
  

• Handicrafts are nothing but the handmade artisanry. India is very famous for this art. Different types of handicrafts include Bamboo Handicrafts, Cane Handicrafts, Bell Metal Handicrafts, Bone and Horn Handicrafts, Brass Handicrafts, Clay Handicrafts or Pottery, Dhokra Handicrafts, Jute Handicrafts, Paper Handicrafts, Rock Handicrafts, Weaving or Embroidery Handicrafts, etc.

Noise pollution is a physical form of pollution that affects the receiver directly. dB (decibel) is a standard abbreviation used for the quantitative expression of noise. Noise or pollutant sound has a value of 80 dB and above, it harms hearing system. The WHO has fixed 45 dB as the safe noise level for a city.

Correct answer is :

Fabrics.

Spinning is a major part of the textile industry. It is part of the textile manufacturing process where three types of fiber are converted into yarn, then fabrics, which undergo finishing processes such as bleaching to become textiles. The textiles are then fabricated into clothes or other products. There are three industrial processes available to spin yarn, and a handicraft community who use hand spinning techniques. 

• When plants and animal-based products are used as raw materials, it is called agro-based industry. 
  
• Cotton textile, jute textile and sugar are examples of such agro-based industries.
  

• Jute is an example of biodegradable component and hence Jute has gained opportunity.
  
• Instead of using disposable commodities like plastic bags we can use jute bags to carry things which reduces waste pollution of the environment.
  

Though industrial development in India caused enormous improvement in India’s economy, it also proved disastrous to the environment.

Industries caused air pollution due to the smoke released from factories.

They also caused water pollution due to the draining of industrial wastes into water bodies causing hectic problems to marine and human life.

Main pollution is caused by chemical industries.

A.       Availability of Raw Materials.

The significance of raw materials in manufacturing industry is so fundamental that it needs no emphasizing. Indeed, the location of industrial enterprises is sometimes determined simply by location of the raw materials. Modern industry is so complex that a wide range of raw materials is necessary for its growth.

SAIL is operating and having its owns 5 integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Rourkela, Durgapur, Bokaro and Burnpur. Also, 3 special steel plants at Salem, Durgapur and Bhadravathi. Whereas Katni is also known as the city of lime because it is rich in reserve of limestone. Above details show that Katni is not connected with steel production. So, option D is correct. 

Trapping of sun’s heat in the lower atmosphere due to increase in the pollution causing gases like carbon dioxide is called greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and ozone, nitrous oxide etc.

Sun’s radiation is partly absorbed by earth and rest of the radiations are reflected back to the atmosphere. But the greenhouse gases form blanket in the atmosphere and traps the radiation from escaping. This causes an increase in earth’s temperature resulting in Global warming.

Smelting is nothing but extraction of aluminium from its ore. Aluminium smelting plant’s location depends on availability of raw material and good supply of electricity. 

The fertilizer industry is located around the production of nitrogenous fertilisers. Other chemicals are phosphatic fertilisers, ammonium phosphate and complex fertilisers. These have a combination of nitrogen, phosphate and potash.

Sindhri is an industrial township within Dhanbad municipal limits of Dhanbad in Jharkhand. It is famous for fertilizers productions.
