A) Chabahar B) Gwadar
C) Hambantota D) Mongla
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Chabahar

Explanation:

India   signed   a   historic   deal   to develop    the    strategic    port    of Chabahar  in  Iran  and  agreed  on  a three-nation    pact    to    build    a transport-and-trade corridor through   Afghanistan   that   could help  halve  the  time  and  cost  of doing  business  with  Central  Asia and     Europe.     Developing     the  Chabahar  port  was  seen  as  crucial for  India  because  it  will  not  only allow New Delhi to bypass Pakistan and access global markets but also counter    China’s    expanding influence   in   the   Indian   Ocean region. But the project’s land route through   Afghanistan   remains   a security headache

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

The Stamp Act of  1765  was  passed  by  Parliament of  Great  Britain to  impose  a  direct tax   on   the   colonies   of   British America.  It  was  later  repealed  on March 18, 1766 after protest.
