Correct answer
Explanation
Dolphin's Nose is a distinctive 357-meter (1,171 ft) high promontory in Visakhapatnam that resembles a dolphin's head. It shelters Vizag harbor and houses a powerful lighthouse visible from 65 km away, guiding ships in the Bay of Bengal. The area is crucial for shipping manganese and iron ore. Chicken's Neck is a narrow corridor in Siliguri, while Horse's Head and Elephant's Trunk are not Vizag landmarks.
