Solution
The correct option is A Thumba
The Rocket Launching Station is located at Thumba in Thiruvananthapuram. It is India's first space port established in 1963. The presence of a strong ‘equatorial electroject’ current over Thumba and its closeness to the geomagnetic equator, made it an ideal site for the launch of rockets.
