Solution

The correct option is A Hooghly
Factors responsible for their location in the Hooghly basin are: proximity of the jute producing areas, inexpensive water transport, supported by a good network of railways and roadways to facilitate movement of raw material to the mills, abundant water for processing raw jute, cheap labour from West Bengal and adjoining states of Bihar, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh.
