Correct:
B
Explanation
Sambhar Lake (Sambhar Salt Lake) lies very close to Jaipur: standard geographic descriptions place the lake about 70 km west/southwest of Jaipur and roughly 65–70 km northwest/west of Jaipur city, identifying it as the largest inland salt lake of India located near Jaipur [2]. Given the four choices (Bharatpur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur), the distances cited in authoritative geography texts clearly indicate Jaipur is the nearest urban centre to Sambhar Lake. Other listed cities such as Jodhpur and Udaipur are substantially farther away, so Jaipur is the correct answer based on the cited distance references [2].
