Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Indian Navy is organized into three primary commands for administrative and operational purposes. The Southern Naval Command (SNC) is headquartered in Kochi, Kerala [5]. Located on Willingdon Island, the base is known as INS Venduruthy and serves as the primary training command for the Indian Navy [2]. While Kochi is a major natural seaport and shipyard [3], it specifically hosts the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command [4]. The other two commands are the Western Naval Command, headquartered in Mumbai, and the Eastern Naval Command, headquartered in Visakhapatnam [5]. Karwar is a significant naval base (Project Seabird) but does not serve as a command headquarters [1]. Chennai is a major base under the Eastern Naval Command but does not host a command headquarters.
