Solution

The correct option is C Fishing industry
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Mumbai started growing rapidly because of the development of the textile industry. A lot of textile mills sprung up in and around Mumbai. This attracted a lot of people from around Mumbai and far, resulting in the growth of the city. Soon, many fishing villages around the city, also known as Koliwadas, also became a part of the Mumbai metropolitan area.
