Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct matching of Indian ports to their features is as follows: Mumbai is recognized as the biggest port of India, serving as a natural harbour and a major hub for overseas trade [2]. Visakhapatnam is a prominent land-locked harbour on the eastern coast, known for its deep-water facilities and iron ore exports [1][3]. Chennai Port is one of the oldest ports on the Eastern Coast, an artificial harbour established in 1859 [1]. Kochi (Cochin) is traditionally referred to as the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea' due to its historical and strategic importance on the west coast [3]. While Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) is the largest container port [4], Mumbai remains the largest natural port by general trade volume and berths [2]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1.
