A. Beaches
B. Deltas
C. Fishing ports
D. Estuaries

Answer 1

Hint: A beach is a landform together with a body of water which comprises loose elements. The elements composing a beach are stereotypically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc., or biological sources, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Sediments settle down in various masses and edifices, contingent on the local wave action and weather, creating various feels, colors, and slopes or layers of substance.

Complete answer:A fishing port is a port or harbor for mooring and dispensing fish. It may be a frivolous service; however, it is typically commercial. A fishing port is the only port that is dependent on ocean produce, and the reduction of fish may trigger a fishing port to be wasteful. India has a shoreline straddling 7516 km, creating one of the principal peninsulas in the world. Conferring to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, around 95 percent of India's merchandising by capacity and 70 percent by worth is completed through oceanic conveyance. It is serviced by 13 key ports (12 Government-owned and 1 private) and 187 informed small and midway ports. Port Blair, which was informed as a key port in 2010, was eradicated of its position recently. A total of 200 key and small ports are present in the subsequent States: Tamil Nadu (15); Gujarat (40); Maharashtra (53); Karnataka (10) and others (82).

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note:As of January 2020, India has a 30 percent part of ship infringement with yearly US 1.1 billion dollars profits, which is inferior to its prospective trade since India is not a participant in the Hong Kong International Convention for the benign and ecologically comprehensive salvaging of ships. Because of which treaty participant nations, such as the USA, Europe, and Japan are not transporting ships to India for infringement. India plans to pass the "Recycling of Ships Act, 2019" to sanction the Hong Kong treaty. This will let India capture its targeted 60 percent in the global ship infringement business while doubling up the year to US 2.3 billion dollars targets. India's Alang-Sosiya Ship Breaking Yard is the world's largest ships' graveyard.
