The correct answer is (C) Hajipur. Hajipur in Bihar is the headquarters of the East Central Railway zone of the Indian Railways.
Indian Railways is divided into several zones, each with a designated headquarters city. Identifying these headquarters is a factual recall question.
As of the current structure, there are 18 railway zones in India. Kanpur and Lucknow are important railway cities in Uttar Pradesh but are not zone headquarters. New Jalpaiguri is a major railway station in West Bengal but not a zone headquarters.
