The correct answer is (d), India.
India is the world’s largest producer of pulses, accounting for 24% of global production in 2020. It is also the world’s largest consumer of pulses, accounting for 22% of global consumption in 2020.
Pulses are a type of legume that includes beans, lentils, peas, and chickpeas. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Pulses are also a relatively low-cost source of food, making them an important part of the diet for many people around the world.
India’s large population and its traditional reliance on pulses as a source of protein have contributed to its position as the world’s largest producer and consumer of pulses. The Indian government has also implemented policies to promote the production and consumption of pulses, such as providing subsidies to farmers and offering incentives to food processors to use pulses in their products.
The United States is the world’s second-largest producer of pulses, accounting for 14% of global production in 2020. China is the world’s third-largest producer of pulses, accounting for 12% of global production in 2020. England is not a major producer of pulses.
