Rubber is grown on a commercial scale in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. These states have favorable climatic conditions and suitable soil for rubber cultivation. Kerala, known as the "Rubber Capital of India," is one of the largest producers of rubber in the country. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also have a significant presence in rubber cultivation. Option 1 (Maharashtra-Gujarat-Madhya Pradesh) does not have a significant rubber cultivation industry, so it is not the correct answer. Option 3 (Sikkim-Arunachal Pradesh-Nagaland) and option 4 (Orissa-Madhya Pradesh-Maharashtra) also do not have a significant presence in rubber cultivation. Hence, the correct answer is option 2 (Kerala-Tamil Nadu-Karnataka).
