The correct answer is:

(a) Punjab

Explanation:

Punjab is the only state in India that has completely abolished irrigation revenue rates, also known as "water cess" or "irrigation charges." This step was taken to support agricultural development and reduce the financial burden on farmers, acknowledging the state's reliance on agriculture and the importance of irrigation.
