A Correct answer
Explanation

The Gulf of Khambhat is an inlet of the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat. It has the potentiality of harnessing tidal power. The difference in water height from low tide and high tide is potential energy. To capture sufficient power from the tidal energy potential, the height of high tide must be at least five meters (16 feet) greater than low tide.
