Which of the following is NOT true about naval ports ?

They handle cargo and passengers

The correct answer is Option 2: They handle cargo and passengers

Naval ports are ports developed primarily for defense and strategic purposes. They serve warships, provide facilities for naval operations, and have repair and maintenance workshops for warships. They are not meant for handling commercial cargo and passengers, which is the function of commercial ports.

NCERT: Naval Ports are ports which have only strategic importance. These ports serve warships and have repair workshops for them. Kochi and Karwar are examples of such ports in India.
