(C) Jharkhand — rich in minerals and coal
As stated in the textbook, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh are rich in minerals and coal deposits.
The source passage directly states this fact. Options A and B are reversed (Rajasthan lacks water; Arunachal Pradesh has water abundance, not minerals), and Ladakh is deficient in infrastructure, not well-developed. Always verify resource-state matching carefully from the textbook examples.
