Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer:
Option 2: Mumbai
Explanation:
Mumbai is the major industrial and economic hub of India, which leads to a very high population density. It is the financial capital of the country and hosts banking, stock exchange, film industry (Bollywood), ports, textile industries, and various service sectors. Due to abundant employment opportunities, people migrate from different parts of the country to Mumbai. This large-scale migration results in dense population. This question is based on factors affecting population distribution, a frequently asked topic in SSC exams.
Additional Facts:

Option 3: Puri is known for religious tourism, not industry.
Option 4: Leh is a mountainous region with low population density.
