Correct Answer:

Bombay

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Bombay

The Borah Bazaar is in the Fort area, Bombay.

As Bombay grew, even the fort area became congested. Traders, shopkeepers and service groups flowed into the area, numerous bazaars were established, and lofty structures came up. Worried by the congestion, the British made several attempts to push Indians out of the northern part of the Fort where the local communities had settled.
