Hint:
The capital of the Indian state of Karnataka is Bangalore. It is the third most populated city and fifth-most populous urban agglomeration in India, with a population of more than 8 million and a metropolitan population of about 11 million.

Complete solution:
Due to its greenery, wide streets and the existence of many public parks, such as Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park, Bangalore is known as the "Garden City of India". Thanks to its underground music scene, Bangalore is often referred to as the "Pub Capital of India" and the "Rock/Metal Capital of India" and it is one of the premier places to stage international rock concerts. In May 2012, Bangalore was ranked third by Lonely Planet among the world's top ten cities to visit.

During the week of Republic day January 26 and on August 15 Independence day, bi-annual flower shows are held at Lal bagh garden which means " Red Garden ". The glasshouse is the location for the exhibition.

Also home to many vegan-friendly restaurants and vegan advocacy groups, Bangalore has been called by PETA India as India's most vegan-friendly city.
As opposed to Delhi and Mumbai, Bangalore did not have an effective representation of contemporary art until recently in the 1990s, several art galleries appeared, notably the National Gallery of Modern Art founded by the government. The international art festival of Bangalore, Art Bangalore, was established in 2010.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
 Located in southern India on the Deccan Plateau, Bangalore is renowned for its good climate throughout the year at an altitude of over 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level. Among India's major cities, its elevation is the highest.
