The correct answer is option 3, which includes the villages of Sutanuti, Kalikata, and Gobindapur that were amalgamated to form the city of Calcutta.

Option 1 includes the villages of Midnapur, Chittagong, and Burdwan, which were not part of the amalgamation process to form Calcutta.

Option 2 includes the villages of 24-Parganas, Kalikata, and Thakurgaon. While Kalikata was indeed one of the villages amalgamated, 24-Parganas and Thakurgaon were not part of the process.

Option 4 includes the villages of Midnapur, Thakurgaon, and Gobindapur. While Gobindapur was indeed one of the villages amalgamated, Midnapur and Thakurgaon were not part of the process.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, as it includes the correct villages that were amalgamated to form the city of Calcutta.
