C
Correct answer
Explanation
India has the largest deposits of mica in the world, accounting for about 60% of global production. Mica is widely used in electrical and electronic industries due to its excellent heat-resistant and insulating properties. India's mica belt primarily spans Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand. While India does produce iron ore, gold and silver are not minerals where India leads global production.
