The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is chosen as the correct answer because, in 2001, it recorded the highest turnover amongst all the other major stock exchanges in India.

Let`s discuss all options:

1) Bombay Stock Exchange: This exchange, based in Mumbai, has a significant trading volume and is one of the oldest exchanges in Asia. The high turnover in 2001 highlights its robust operation and high activity level.

2) Calcutta Stock Exchange: Based in Kolkata, it was a thriving exchange, but it did not outperform the BSE in terms of turnover during the mentioned period.

3) Delhi Stock Exchange: This exchange, while important, had lower trading volume compared to BSE in 2001.

4) National Stock Exchange: Despite being India`s largest stock exchange in terms of total and average daily turnover for equities, in 2001, it was not able to top the BSE`s turnover.

Therefore, the BSE registered the highest turnover in 2001 among the listed options. It`s worth noting that `turnover` refers to the total value of shares traded over a specific period.
