Solution

The correct option is C Thiruvananthapuram
Twilight is the period between day and night and vice versa when the sun is not visible but the sky is illuminated by the scattering of light. Period of twilight is maximum at the poles and it goes on decreasing when we move towards the equator.
Among the given cities, Thiruvananthapuram is nearest to the equator thus the period of twilight will be shortest at it.
