The correct answer is: Jharkhand is the biggest lac producing state in the country and accounts for more than 50% of the national production.
Lac is a resinous secretion produced by an insect called the lac bug. It is used in a variety of products, including varnishes, paints, and shellac. India is the world’s largest producer of lac, and Jharkhand is the largest lac producing state in India. In 2018-19, Jharkhand produced 12,000 tonnes of lac, which was more than 50% of the country’s total production.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the percentage of national production that Jharkhand accounts for. Option A is incorrect because it states that Jharkhand accounts for 42% of the national production. Option B is incorrect because it states that Jharkhand accounts for 50% of the national production. Option C is incorrect because it states that Jharkhand accounts for 48% of the national production. Option D is incorrect because it states that Jharkhand accounts for 54% of the national production.
