Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct sequence of oil refineries from south to north is Kochi, Mangalore, Mumbai, and Koyali. Kochi Refinery is located in Kerala at approximately 9.9°N latitude [t2][t3]. Moving north, the Mangalore Refinery (MRPL) is situated in Karnataka at roughly 12.9°N [c4][t2]. Further north along the western coast is the Mumbai Refinery in Maharashtra, located at approximately 19.0°N [c1][t2]. Finally, the Koyali Refinery (also known as the Gujarat Refinery) is located near Vadodara in Gujarat at about 22.3°N [c1][t3]. This latitudinal progression confirms that Kochi is the southernmost and Koyali is the northernmost among the given options. Pipelines in western India often connect these hubs, such as the Mumbai-Koyali link which facilitates crude transport from offshore fields to the northern Gujarat processing center [c1][c2].
