The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

The 'Queen' pineapple is a well-known variety, prized for its sweetness, pleasant aroma, and crisp texture. It is extensively cultivated in several northeastern states of India. In June 2018, the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, officially declared the 'Queen' pineapple as the "State Fruit" of Tripura. This recognition aimed to promote this unique pineapple variety grown in Tripura and boost the income of farmers. Tripura is one of the largest pineapple-producing states in India, and the 'Queen' variety is a significant contributor to its horticultural economy. Tripura

Approach Solution -2

Alternate approach - ruling out the other states first:
None of the other three states carry an official state-fruit declaration for pineapple: no such notification exists for Manipur or Meghalaya, and while Arunachal Pradesh also grows pineapple, it was not the state honoured in this particular declaration. Tripura, by contrast, is one of India's largest Queen-pineapple producing states, and in June 2018 the Government of India specifically named the Queen pineapple as Tripura's state fruit to support its farmers. Eliminating the other three states leaves Tripura as the only consistent answer.
