Solution

The correct option is C Pondicherry
Pondicherry was the French headquarter in India. A portion of France still exists in India in the French quarter in Pondicherry, which has a history of being acquired and colonised by the French East India Company to set up a trading centre. Pondicherry had been passed on to multiple colonial powers of Dutch, Portuguese, English, but predominantly French.
