Solution

The correct option is C Shimla
The British administration in India transferred offices to Shimla to get away from the scorching heat of the Indian summer. This is how Shimla emerged as a mountain destination for the Britishers to achieve physical and mental harmony and eventually came to be called as 'the summer capital'.
