The correct answer is option 2, Goa. Goa was the headquarters of the Portuguese in India. Goa served as the capital of Portuguese India from the early 16th century until the end of Portuguese rule in 1961. It was an important colonial port and trading center for the Portuguese empire, as well as a center for religious and cultural activities. Goa`s strategic location on the western coast of India made it an ideal base for the Portuguese to establish their presence and expand their influence in the region. The Portuguese built numerous forts, churches, and administrative buildings in Goa, making it the center of their colonial administration in India.
