C Correct answer
Explanation

Petroleum (crude oil and products) is India's largest import item by value, accounting for a significant portion of the import bill due to India's substantial domestic demand and limited domestic production. India imports over 80% of its crude oil requirements. Chemical products and iron/steel are major imports but don't match petroleum's volume and value.
