Model Answer

(C) Chhotanagpur Plateau — It has the maximum concentration of iron and steel industries due to proximity of raw materials, low-cost iron ore, cheap labour, and vast market potential.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "Chhotanagpur plateau region has the maximum concentration of iron and steel industries." The key reasons are proximity of high-grade raw materials, low-cost iron ore, and cheap labour. Students must not confuse this with the Deccan Plateau, which is a common distractor.
