Hint: Shipyards are the places where ships are built. A warship is constructed specifically for naval warfare and they belong to the armed forces of a state.

Complete answer:
-Warships are constructed to overcome the destruction and are usually faster and more manoeuvrable than merchant ships.
-They usually belong to a navy, though they have also been regulated by individuals, cooperatives and companies.
-INS Vikramaditya is the largest warship of India.

-According to the Chief of Naval Staff announcement in September 2014, India has revamped from a buyer's navy to a builder's navy. All the ships which are under construction are being manufactured in Indian shipyards, both publicly and privately owned.
Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) is a massive shipbuilding and has maintenance capability. It is part of maritime-related facilities in the port-city of Kochi, India. INS Vikrant which is under construction will be the largest warship built by CSL.
Garden Reach Workshop is located in Kolkata. It is one of the leading shipyards of India and manufactures and repairs commercial and naval vessels.
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited, Mumbai is also called “Ship Builder to the Nation”. It is one of India’s leading Defence public sector embarking shipyards under the Ministry of Defence.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
