• A. Chennai port
• B. Vishakhapatnam port
• C. Haldia port

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Alternate route: state-to-coast mapping:
Match each port's state to a coastline: Tamil Nadu → east; Andhra Pradesh → east; West Bengal → east; Goa → west.

Step 2: Only one state is on the west coast:
Only Goa (Marmagao) sits on India's western seaboard; the other three states all front the Bay of Bengal.

Step 3: Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{\text{Marmagao port}} \]
