Explanation
The correct answer is B because Kochi is home to Cochin Shipyard Limited, which is the largest shipbuilding and maintenance facility in India. It has the highest building and docking capacity among all Indian shipyards. While Mumbai and Visakhapatnam have significant naval and commercial shipyards, Kochi excels in terms of overall area, capacity to build large vessels like aircraft carriers, and modern infrastructure. This makes it the premier maritime hub for ship construction in the country.
