Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Jadugora (Jadugoda) uranium mines are located in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, near the town of Jadugoda.
These mines are operated by the Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL) and are among the oldest uranium mines in India.
Mizoram is a northeastern state and does not host these mines. Uttarakhand is a Himalayan state in northern India, and Himachal Pradesh is also a northern Himalayan state; neither is the location of the Jadugora mines.
