What is the correct sequence of the location of the following sea ports of India from south to north?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct sequence of the sea ports from south to north is Thiruvananthapuram, Cochin, Calicut, and Mangalore. Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) is the southernmost capital of Kerala, located near 8° 29' N [t4][t5]. Moving north, Cochin (Kochi) is situated at approximately 9° 56' N [t1]. Further north along the Malabar Coast lies Calicut (Kozhikode) at roughly 11° 15' N [t3]. Finally, Mangalore (Mangaluru) is located in the state of Karnataka, approximately 20 km north of the Kerala-Karnataka border at about 12° 52' N [t2][t7]. This latitudinal progression confirms that Thiruvananthapuram is the southernmost point, followed by Cochin and Calicut in Kerala, with Mangalore being the northernmost among the listed ports [c4][t5].
