Which of the following centres of the iron and steel industry is known as the 'Rust Bowl of U.S.A.'?

Correct option is B

Pittsburgh is often referred to as the 'Rust Bowl' or part of the 'Rust Belt' of the U.S.A. The Rust Belt is a region in the northeastern and midwestern United States that was once a booming industrial hub, especially for iron and steel manufacturing. Over time, due to industrial decline, economic downturns, and the outsourcing of jobs, this region saw a significant reduction in industrial activity, earning it the nickname "Rust Belt."
