The correct answer is option 1, Coimbatore. Coimbatore is often referred to as the "Manchester" of South India because of its prominence in the textile industry. Just like Manchester in the United Kingdom, which is known for its textile manufacturing, Coimbatore is also known for its textile mills and factories. The city has a long history of textile production and is a major hub for textile-related businesses and exports. It is home to numerous cotton mills, spinning mills, and weaving units. Coimbatore`s textile industry contributes significantly to the economy of the region and has earned it the nickname "Manchester of South India."
