The correct answer is (d), Singapore.
An export processing zone (EPZ) is a special economic zone (SEZ) that is created to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by offering businesses a range of incentives, such as tax breaks, duty-free imports, and streamlined customs procedures. EPZs are typically located in developing countries, and they have been credited with helping to boost economic growth and development in these countries.
The first EPZ in Asia was set up in 1965 in Singapore. The Singapore EPZ was a major success, and it helped to transform Singapore into a major economic hub. The EPZ was also a model for other EPZs that were set up in other Asian countries in the following decades.
The other options are incorrect. Al Hilai is a town in Qatar, Kandla is a port town in India, and Noida is a city in India. None of these places have EPZs.
