A. Surat
B. Kandla
C. Porbandar
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
It is near the city Gandhidham and is one of the major West ports.

Complete answer:
Kandla port is located in the Kutch District of Gujarat and is located near Gandhidham. It is one of the major ports on the West coast. It was constructed in the 1950s as the Karachi port went to Pakistan due to the separation. It is called the largest port of India that is because it handles a large volume of Cargo. This port has been the busiest in recent years. As we lost the Karachi port to Pakistan Kandla port has helped in any way to ease the pressure on the Mumbai port which was created due to the increase in the trades. As Kandla port is a tidal port the water level in this port would increase or decrease with the occurrence of the ocean tides. It is also used to handle the import and export of the agricultural and industrial sector which is located in the north and northwest part of the country. This port also deals in the import and export of several varieties of goods such as petroleum, iron, and steel. Machinery salt etc. It is one of the highest-earning ports in India. It is also a free trade zone as here whatever is landed, handed or manufactured, etc is the area where there would be no intervention of customs authorities.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
This port is a deserted port; it means that they would virtually not have any rainfall in that area during the year.
