Options:

Nasik

Indore

Surat

Chikamanglur

Correct Answer:

Surat

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Surat

NCERT: "Improvements in medical cures for these diseases, programmes for mass vaccination, and efforts to improve sanitation helped to control epidemics. However, diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhoea and dysentery continue to kill people even today, although the numbers are nowhere as high as they used to be in the epidemics of the past. Surat witnessed a small epidemic of plague in September 1994, while dengue and chikungunya epidemics are since reported in various parts of the country.  ".
