Answer 1

Hint: The Diamond harbour is a turning point for the distributary of the Ganga river. The river Hooghly deviates towards the south into the Bay of Bengal.

Complete answer:
The diamond harbour is not a seaport.
- Paradeep Port: It is a natural, deep- water port situated on the East coast of India present in Jagatsinghpur district of Odisha. It is located at the confluence of the Mahanadi river and the Bay of Bengal.
- Haldia port: It has been built at the joining place of the Haldi River and Hooghly River. Kolkata Port Trust has been built in this port as the port's partner. It is an official dock complex also called as Haldia Dock Complex.
- Diamond Harbour is a city of the Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located on the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. It is known to be the headquarters of the Diamond Harbour subdivision and Diamond Harbour police district.
- The Dhamra Port is a port located in Bhadrak district within the Indian state of Orissa, on the shore of the Bay of Bengal approximately seven kilometres east of the old port of Dhamra. The agreement to develop the port was signed in April 1998. The Dhamra Port Company Limited (DPCL) was developed as a result of a fifty- fifty joint venture between Larsen & Toubro and Tata Steel to run the port.
So, the correct answer is “ Diamond Harbour ”.

Note: The diamond Harbor was dubbed so by the British or rather renamed as Diamond Harbor by them as earlier the spot known as Hajipur.
