Solution

The correct option is B Madras
St. George Fort, built in Madras in 1644 was the first fort buit by the British in India. It faced the sea and soon became the hub of merchant activity. It also helped to establish English influence over the Carnatic and to keep the kings of Arcot and Srirangapatna, as well as the French forces based at Pondichéry, at bay.
