The correct answer is option 2: Gujarat. Gujarat is the leading producer of salt in India.

Option 1: Rajasthan is known for its salt production, but Gujarat surpasses it in terms of quantity.

Option 3: Tamil Nadu also produces salt, but it is not the leading producer in India.

Option 4: Andhra Pradesh is not a significant producer of salt compared to Gujarat.

Gujarat has several favorable factors for salt production, including a long coastline and availability of salt pans. The Rann of Kutch in Gujarat is particularly renowned for its salt production. The region`s climate, proximity to the sea, and flat land make it ideal for salt production. Gujarat`s salt industry plays a vital role in the country`s economy and caters to both domestic and international markets.
