B Correct answer
Explanation

Ahmedabad earned the title 'Manchester of the East' due to its textile industry heritage, similar to how Manchester in England was known for cotton textiles. The city has numerous textile mills and was a major center for the cotton trade. Surat, Mumbai, and Mehsana are also important cities but don't hold this specific title.
