Consider the following paragraph and identify with the code given below the town with which the paragraph is associated : It is basically a traditional centre for cotton. The town accounts for the bulk of Indias cotton knitwear exports to all over the world. The Noyyal river runs all across the town, virtually dividing it into two halves. Code :

The paragraph describes Tirupur in Tamil Nadu, which is internationally recognized as the 'Knitwear Capital of India' [2]. Tirupur is a traditional center for cotton trading and ginning that evolved into a global export hub, currently accounting for approximately 90% of India's total cotton knitwear exports [3]. Geographically, the town is situated on the banks of the Noyyal River, a tributary of the Kaveri, which flows through the city and effectively divides it [2]. While other options like Guntur are known for cotton trading and Erode for general textiles, they do not match the specific knitwear export dominance or the geographical marker of the Noyyal River. Subarnapur (Sonepur) in Odisha is primarily known for handloom sarees like Bomkai rather than industrial knitwear exports. Tirupur's rapid industrialization since the 1970s has made it a critical node in India's textile geography [2].
