The correct answer is: a) Rayalaseema region.
The Polavaram Project is a multi-purpose irrigation project on the Godavari River in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project aims to provide irrigation to 1.83 million acres (740,000 ha) of land in the Rayalaseema region, which is one of the driest regions in the state. The project will also generate 960 MW of hydroelectric power and provide drinking water to 100 million people.
The project has been controversial since its inception, with environmental groups and farmers’ groups opposing it. The project has also been delayed due to financial and technical problems. However, the government of Andhra Pradesh has stated that the project will be completed by 2022.

- Option b, Coastal Andhra, is incorrect because the Polavaram Project is not located in the Coastal Andhra region.
- Option c, Northern districts, is incorrect because the Polavaram Project is not located in the Northern districts of Andhra Pradesh.
- Option d, Tribal areas, is incorrect because the Polavaram Project is not located in the tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh.
