View Answer
Correct Answer: C — Bhilwara
Explanation:
Bhilwara is widely recognised as the 'Textile City of India' due to its large-scale production of synthetic fabrics, polyester-viscose blended yarn, and cotton textiles. The city hosts numerous spinning, weaving, and dyeing units and exports to markets including the USA and Europe. Other Rajasthan textile cities — Pali (dyeing/printing), Balotra (hand-block printing), and Jaipur (traditional handicrafts) — are notable but do not match Bhilwara's industrial scale.
