    A)  Kolkata            

    B)  Marmagoa

    C)  Kochi                          

    D)  Ennore

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Kolkata port is located on the left bank of river Hooghly about 128 km inland from the Bay of Bengal. Water in the river Hooghly is not deep enough to accommodate large ships. Ships enter the port at the time of advancing tide and go out in the open sea along the receding tide.
