Radioactive element which has been found to have large reserves in India is
AUranium
BThorium
CRadium
DPlutonium

correct answer is: Thorium
Explanation: India has significant reserves of Thorium, particularly in regions like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where monazite sands are abundant. Thorium is a key element for nuclear energy, and India is investing in Thorium-based reactors due to its large reserves. Uranium reserves in India are not as extensive, Radium is rare, and Plutonium is typically a byproduct rather than a mined resource.

  • OPTION a: Uranium
    - Not as abundant as Thorium in India.
  • OPTION b: Thorium
    - India has large reserves, especially in monazite sands.
  • OPTION c: Radium
    - Much rarer and not significantly found in India.
  • OPTION d: Plutonium
    - Not naturally abundant; typically produced in reactors.
