C Correct answer
Explanation

Vedanta Resources (and its subsidiary Sterlite) faced significant opposition for its mining and bauxite refinery projects in Odisha's Niyamgiri Hills due to environmental and tribal rights concerns. In 2010-2012, the Indian government denied forest clearance and the project was stalled. This relates to the Niyamgiri bauxite mining controversy involving Dongria Kondh tribes. Option C (Vedanta) is correct.
