Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Goa.

 

In January 2020, the state of Goa obtained the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for its popular ‘Khola Chillies’. These chillies are grown in the hilly areas of the Khola village in the Canacona taluka of South Goa. Known for their bright red color, distinct flavor, and moderate pungency, Khola Chillies are cultivated using traditional methods. The GI tag helps protect the identity of this unique variety and promotes the livelihood of local farmers through official recognition and marketing.
