Correct answer
Explanation
Nhava Sheva (JNPT) near Mumbai is India's largest container port by volume, handling the maximum number of TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) annually. It was specifically developed as a container-specialized port to decongest Mumbai Port and serve as India's primary container gateway. While other ports like Visakhapatnam handle significant cargo, JNPT leads specifically in container traffic.
