Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) II, III and IV
Maharashtra is a leading producer of long-staple cotton, West Bengal dominates jute cultivation, and Gujarat ranks first in groundnut output—so pairs II, III and IV are correct. Tapioca, though grown in Kerala, is not considered one of the state’s principal commercial crops in national agricultural statistics, so pair I is treated as incorrect. Therefore the correct code is II, III and IV. ([gktoday.in](https://www.gktoday.in/question/which-of-the-following-pairs-of-states-and-their-i?utm_source=openai))
