C Correct answer
Explanation

Jamshetji Tata established the Empress Mills in Nagpur in 1877, which was one of India's first textile mills. Nagpur was strategically chosen due to its central location and access to raw materials. Option B (Jamshedpur) is incorrect because Jamshedpur didn't exist in 1877 - it was founded later in 1919 as Tata's industrial city. Options A and D are simply incorrect locations.
