Hint: It is a memorable terminal train station and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The end was planned by the British brought into the world compositional architect Frederick William Stevens, in an abundant Italian Gothic style. Its advancement began in 1878, in the territory south of the old Bori Bunder railroad station, and was done in 1887.

Complete step-by-step solution:
In March 1996 the station's name was changed to "Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus" (with station code CST) after Shivaji, the seventeenth-century champion tribal leader who utilized guerrilla strategies to challenge the declining Mughal Empire and found another state in the western Marathi-talking locales of the Deccan Plateau. During the eighteenth century, the state was extended by the Peshwas to reach out over numerous inside locales of India as the Maratha Confederacy, or the Maratha Empire. The extension was checked in 1761 by the Afghans in the Third Battle of Panipat, and the realm was crushed by the British in 1817–18 in the Third Anglo-Maratha War. Shivaji's name is regularly gone before by "Chhatrapati", a title with exacting meaning, "a lord stately by the symbol of a parasol; an incredible ruler." In 2017, the station was again renamed "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus" (with code CSTM), where the title Maharaj has strict signifying, "Extraordinary ruler; sovereign. The end of it is the base camp of India's Central Railway. It is one of the busiest railroad stations in India, filling in as a terminal for both significant distance-and rural trains. It runs between Mumbai Central and Amritsar Junction. It covers a daily distance of 1891 km in 32 hours 15 mins as 12903 Golden Temple Mail averaging 58.64 km/hr and 31 hours 55 mins and 12904 Golden Temple Mail averaging 59.25 km/hr.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The Golden Temple Mail was until September 1996 known as Frontier Mail. Earlier the Partition of India, it would approach Peshawar on British India's boondocks with Afghanistan from which it determined its name.
