Solution
The correct option is B Darjeeling
The British came from a cool temperate climate; India's hill stations provided an escape from the sweltering Indian heat. The Europeans found the weather there favourable, and it also saved them from epidemics. So they established alternative capitals in these hill stations. For example, Darjeeling, which was taken away from Sikkim's rulers in 1835, became the alternative for Calcutta.
