Solution

The correct option is C Marmagao
Marmagao is the premier iron-ore exporting port due to its strategic location in West coast which facilitates export to European countries. Paradip and Haldia are on east coast and thus are geographically inconvenient for a route to Europe. Kochi, despite of being on Eastern coast is further South and also carries a lot of traffic due to export of spices
