Which industry is the backbone of Assam’s industrial sector?

Oil and natural gas
Textiles
Cement
Pharmaceuticals

The correct answer is (a) Oil and natural gas.

Assam is one of the major oil and natural gas producing states in India. The state has a long history of oil and natural gas exploration and production. The first oil well in Assam was drilled in 1889, and the state has been a major producer of oil and natural gas ever since.

The oil and natural gas industry is the backbone of Assam’s industrial sector. The industry provides employment to a large number of people and contributes significantly to the state’s economy.

The other options are incorrect because they are not major industries in Assam.

(b) Textiles is not a major industry in Assam. The state has a small textile industry, but it is not as significant as the oil and natural gas industry.

(c) Cement is not a major industry in Assam. The state has a small cement industry, but it is not as significant as the oil and natural gas industry.

(d) Pharmaceuticals is not a major industry in Assam. The state has a small pharmaceutical industry, but it is not as significant as the oil and natural gas industry.
