Solution

The correct option is D Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad is often referred to as the ‘Manchester of India’. Favorable locational factors were responsible for the development of the textile industry in Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad is situated in the heart of a cotton-growing area. This ensures the easy availability of raw material. The humid climate is ideal for spinning and weaving. The flat terrain and easy availability of land are suitable for the establishment of the mills.
