Correct Answer: Kerala


Solution : The correct answer is Kerala.

Monazite sand on the beaches of Kerala is rich in Thorium. Thorium is a radioactive element but presently it is not used directly as a nuclear fuel, first, it is changed into U-233 then it can be used in Nuclear Reactors. India has the highest thorium reserves in the world and accounts for 25% of global reserves.
