Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

A Geographical Indication (GI) tag certifies that a product originates from a specific geographic region, where a distinctive quality, reputation, or characteristic of the product is essentially attributable to that place of origin. Tribes India, run by TRIFED, curates and sells GI-tagged tribal and artisanal products organised state-wise, so a given state's product list includes only items whose GI registration ties them to that state.

Checking each option's place of origin:

  • Decorative Blue Pottery: a glazed, quartz-dough ceramic craft centred in Jaipur, Rajasthan; its GI registration is held for Rajasthan.

  • Molela clay items: hand-moulded terracotta relief plaques traditionally made in Molela village, Rajsamand district, Rajasthan; GI-tagged to Rajasthan.

  • Bagru hand-block print: a natural-dye hand block-printing textile craft centred in Bagru town near Jaipur, Rajasthan; GI-tagged to Rajasthan.

  • Gobindo Bhog rice: an aromatic short-grain rice variety cultivated in the Purba Bardhaman (Burdwan) district of West Bengal; its GI registration is held for West Bengal, not Rajasthan.

Three of the four products (Blue Pottery, Molela clay items, Bagru hand-block print) carry a Rajasthan-origin GI tag and appear on Rajasthan's Tribes India list. Gobindo Bhog rice is GI-tagged to West Bengal, so it is the one item not included in Rajasthan's Tribes India GI Products list.
