Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → D, E Only
Classified by the cargo handled, ports fall into three kinds: industrial ports, which deal in bulk cargo such as ore and grain; commercial ports, which handle general cargo and passengers; and comprehensive ports, which do both.
Oil ports belong to a different scheme — ports classified by their specialised function — and naval ports are classified by strategic use, so neither is part of the cargo-based classification.
