A Correct answer
Explanation

Makshikaranya (forest of houseflies) was Ekaduthangal, an industrial area in Chennai. The name likely referred to its swampy, insect-ridden condition historically. Distractors: Adyar Koovam, Perungudi, and Kandanchavadi are all Chennai areas but don't have this specific historical association.
