D. Surat

Answer 1

Hint: The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line at an angle of 23.50 degrees to the north of the Equator, moving through the centre of India.

Complete answer:
Mehsana district is one of the 33 districts in the state of Gujarat in western India. Mehsana City is the administrative headquarters of this district. There is a population of over 1.8 million in the district and an area of over 4,500 km2. There are over 600 villages with a population of 2,035,064 in this district, 22.40% of whom were urban as of 2011.
The town nearest to the Tropic of Cancer is Udaipur. Tripura is a warm location, even though it falls below the northeastern part of India. The town is famous for its Tripura Sundari Temple and was the former capital of the Tripura Maharajas.
Often known as the Northern Tropic, the Tropic of Cancer is the northernmost circle of latitude of the Planet at which the Sun will be directly overhead.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note: If you run this imaginary line around the World, it goes through 17 nations, one of them being India where it passes through eight states of India.
