Solution

The correct option is B Parsi
With the migration of many Jews and Zoroastrians or Parsis, many new religions entered into India. The Jews settled in Kerala, while the Parsis, who fled the persecution of Persia, settled in Gujarat. The Parsi merchants were the richest and the most prominent communities in the port of Surat and in Bombay under the British rule.
