Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correct matching of Indian ports with their special features is as follows: Kandla (Deendayal Port) is a major tidal port located in the Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat [1]. Kochi (Cochin) is situated at the head of Vembanad Kayal (lagoon) and is known as a natural harbour at the mouth of a lagoon [2]. Visakhapatnam is recognized as the deepest landlocked and protected port on the east coast, featuring a natural harbour protected by the 'Dolphin’s Nose' hill. Kolkata is India's only major inland riverine port, located approximately 128 km inland on the Hooghly River [2]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4, which corresponds to option 2.
