The correct answer is B) Kochi. The Headquarters of the Southern Naval Command of the Indian Navy is located in Kochi, Kerala.

– The Indian Navy is divided into three operational commands and one training command.
– The three operational commands are the Western Naval Command (WNC) headquartered in Mumbai, the Eastern Naval Command (ENC) headquartered in Visakhapatnam, and the Southern Naval Command (SNC) headquartered in Kochi.
– There is also a tri-service command, the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC), based in Port Blair.

Kochi hosts the headquarters of SNC, which is primarily responsible for training and support functions for the Indian Navy. While Karwar is a major naval base (INS Kadamba), it falls under the Western Naval Command. Thiruvananthapuram is the capital of Kerala but is not the headquarters of the SNC. Chennai is a major city on the east coast and is part of the Eastern Naval Command’s area of responsibility.
