a. Chennai
b. Kandla
c. Mumbai
d. Kolkata

Answer 1

Hint:
This dock belongs to the state of Maharashtra as it is the prime shipyard in India.

Complete solution:
Mazagaon Dock is a shipyard that is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra. On this dock, several warships and submarines are being manufactured over there which would help our Indian army and offer them an offshore platform whereas they also build tankers, cargo bulk, passenger ships, etc. Mazagon Dock shipyard is a public entity that was declared in 1934. It has an oil platform. All the repair and maintenance work which is done in the Mazgaon Dock is done at the Alcock as it could jack up to 80m length and 2200 tonnes of weights can be made on that port. The yard has built a special machine which would help them to clean all the oil which has been on the platform and also could help the firefighter for the offshore drilling platforms. They also get welding training which would protect and help them in welding techniques and procedures that would have an acceptable standard and continue to help them to up their welding technique.

The ownership of the yard had been passed through several generations that would include Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and it has also been passed through the British India Steam Navigation Company but later on it was been converted as a public company and it is now under Public Sector Undertaking of the Government of India.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
There were several naval projects which took place at the dock like the Nilgiri class frigate as the first warship was built over here and it was about 2900 tons.
