Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) 4
Port number 4 on the UPSC map represents Kolkata (on the Hooghly River). Unlike Kandla, Haldia or Tuticorin—which are seaports on the open coast—Kolkata is situated several kilometres inland and is reached by a navigable tidal river, making it a classic riverine port.
