Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, Kolkata is an inland riverine port." The other options are coastal ports — Paradwip (iron ore export), Vishakhapatnam (deepest landlocked port), and Chennai (oldest artificial port). For MCQs, simply underlining the correct option and writing a one-line justification is sufficient for full marks.
