Other Plantation Crops

Kerala is the largest producer of Cardamom (small) in India. It accounts for 91.13% of the total production (in 2021-22) of the country. Highest production of black pepper (2021-22 Final) is in Karnataka, and Kerala is on the second place in this list. But due to the absence of Karnataka in the option, the correct answer is option (c) Kerala will happen.

According to the figures of 2021-22 (Final) Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are the leading producers of cardamom while Odisha is not known for cardamom (Small).

According to 2021-22 (Final) data, farming of clove is done in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andaman and Nicobar Island. Hence the question asked is wrong. If the question had been farming of cloves is not done in which of the states then option (d) would have been the correct answer.
