Solution

The correct option is B St. Francis Xavier
Goa is home to some of the most popular churches in India; the Basilica of Bom Jesus is an example. It has gained popularity because it has the body of a saint, St Francis Xavier, placed inside the church in a glass box. The body has not decomposed in centuries and this attracts tourists to this church.
