Geography (incl. West Bengal)West Bengal Geography
Which one of the following is not mined in the delta region of West Bengal?
  1. a.Natural gas
  2. b.Clay
  3. c.Sand
  4. d.Groundwater

Answer: (D) Groundwater

Natural gas, clay and sand are all genuinely extracted/mined resources in the delta region, whereas groundwater is pumped or drawn, not "mined" in the geological resource-extraction sense, making it the odd one out.
