Kolkata was formed by merging three villages in 1692: Sutanuti, Gobindapur, and Kalikata (anglicized as Calcutta, now Kolkata). This is well-documented in the city's colonial history. Chitpur, Khidirpur, and the bazaars mentioned in other options are areas within Kolkata, not original villages.
Kolkata grew out of three villages purchased/leased by the British East India Company in the late 17th century: Sutanuti, Gobindapur, and Kalikata (which gave the city its name). This three-village origin is a standard fact in the city's history. The other option sets mix in places like Chitpur or Khidirpur, which were not part of the original founding villages.
