- CI, III and IVCorrect
- DII, III and IV
Explanation
The correct answer is C because Yamuna Nagar, Shahabad, and Ballarpur are prominent centers for the paper industry in India.
Yamuna Nagar in Haryana is famous for its large scale paper mills, particularly the Ballarpur Industries Limited BILT unit. Ballarpur in Maharashtra is another major hub specifically known for its extensive paper manufacturing facilities. Shahabad, located in Telangana formerly Andhra Pradesh, is also a recognized center for paper production.
Guwahati, while an industrial city in Assam, is primarily known for oil refining, tea processing, and petrochemicals rather than being a major hub for paper manufacturing. Therefore, statements I, III, and IV are correct.
