B. Chennai
C. Hyderabad
D. Mangaluru

Answer 1

Hint: IT parks are not some kind of a land area where a lot of IT businesses have set up their shop. It is a designated area that is designed to cater to the needs of businesses related to the information and technology sector.

Complete answer:Usually, if a market is named after the product it is selling it, means most of the shops are doing trade in the same commodity. We can say that the naming comes after many businesses set up their shop for the same product. The story is different in the case of IT parks. These are planned areas with a high-quality physical environment in a park-like setting. Activities are promoted for the growth of research, technology, and knowledge-based enterprises. In short along with business space other needs of it businesses are considered while planning including community-like setting and ambiance. This process got a huge boost with the boom in the IT service sector. In India major, IT parks are set up in Nagpur, Indore Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and many more are coming up in the future. Policies and guidelines set up by the government play an important role in the growth and development of the service sector. Among this, the biggest IT park is in Bengaluru named Electronics City. It has also gained the name “Silicon Valley of India”.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note:It must be noted the concept of IT parks gained prominence in America during the 1950s. This was the time when IT parks were set up near famous engineering universities.
