Solution

The correct option is A Hoogly

India had trade through the sea routes in the pre-colonial period. Surat was the main port on the western coast, which connected India to the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. On the Eastern coast, the main ports were Masulipatnam on the coromandel coast and Hoogly in Bengal. They had trade contacts with Southeast Asian ports.
