Solution

The correct option is D Bengal
Serampore is a famous and historical city in the Indian state of West Bengal. The city is several centuries old and has witnessed both the growth and decline of the feudal system, the coming of the Danes and their settlement.
The Danes established a bazaar (the present Tin Bazaar) and allowed private godowns or warehouses to be maintained. Gradually, the town developed and became elegant and prosperous, and merchants of both foreign and indigenous origin began to arrive and live there.
