Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Coal
1. The table lists India's shares: coal 60%, hydroelectric 14%, nuclear 2%, petroleum 0.3%.
2. Coal's 60% is far larger than any other source.
3. So coal supplies the largest share in India.
4. Nuclear at 2% (option B) is among the smallest, so it is ruled out.
