Hint: A firecracker, sometimes known as a banger, is a small explosive device used to make a lot of noise, usually in the form of a loud bang, mainly for celebration or entertainment; any visual effect is purely coincidental. They feature fuses and the explosive component is contained in a hefty paper casing. They are largely manufactured and exported from India also.

Complete answer:
 A)Vellore: Vellore is a city in Tamil Nadu, India's southernmost state. Vellore Fort, with its massive granite walls and the surrounding moat, dates from the 16th century. Vellore district is the country's leading exporter of processed leather goods. Vellore leather accounts for almost 37% of the country's leather and leather-related exports, including completed leathers, shoes, clothing, and gloves. Thus this is not the right answer.

B)Virudhunagar: It is a town in Tamil Nadu, India, and the administrative centre of the Virudhunagar district. During the British reign, Virudhunagar grew into a major trading centre. Sivakasi is a city in the Virudhunagar District of Tamil Nadu, India. The firecracker, matchbox, and printing industries are all well-known in this town. On a national level, the town is the nodal hub for firecracker manufacturing. So this is the correct answer.

C)Villupuram: It is one of the 38 districts that make up Tamil Nadu, India's largest state. The Backward Regions Grant Fund Program is currently funding six districts in Tamil Nadu. Hence it's the wrong option.

D) Sivaganga: Sivaganga is the administrative centre of the Sivaganga district in Tamil Nadu, India. The town is 48 kilometres from Madurai and 449 kilometres from Chennai, the state capital. It is a significant town in this district for official and commercial reasons, but it is not well-known for crackers.This.option D is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option 'B'.

Note: Sivakasi produces over 70% of the firecrackers and matches produced in India. The town's hot and dry atmosphere is ideal for the manufacture of firecrackers and matchboxes. The crackers are sent to many parts of the world. In these industries, almost 5,000 households are employed. Sivakasi is also known for printing.
