Answer 1

Hint: Solar plants generate energy using the sun’s heat and light, which in turn fuels a turbine and a generator to produce electricity. Concentrated solar energy systems utilize mirrors, lenses, and tracking systems to focus the sun's rays into smaller beams.

Complete answer: Option A: The solar power plant located at Madhapur, near Bhuj in Gujarat, was till recently the largest solar power plant in India. However it is not the largest anymore. It was used to sterilize milk cans.
Option B: The Kamuthi Solar Power Project is a solar power plant spread over 2,500 acres in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, India. The project was commissioned by Adani Power. It is now the largest solar plant, not only in India, but in the world, with 2.5 million solar panels.
Option C: As Kamuthi solar power plant is located just 90 km from Madurai it is the closest solar power plant to Madurai, and is considered a solar power plant in Madurai itself.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B Kamuthi in Tamil Nadu.

Note: India has established about 42 solar parks to make the way available to solar planters. With the increasing use of solar energy, around one million solar lanterns were used, which reduced the need of kerosene in 2015 in India.
