D West Bengal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E Delhi Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

India’s first e-waste eco park will be developed in Holambi Kalan in Delhi in an area of about 21 acres. ‘e-waste eco park’ refers to the establishment of a place where this e-waste is dismantled, refurbished, recycled, and manufactured in a manner that is scientifically and environmentally sound. Delhi is the fifth-largest producer of e-waste in India, after Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Delhi produces over two lakh tonnes of e-waste every year, or about 9.5 per cent of the total amount produced in India, and only five per cent of the generated e-waste is properly recycled.
