Answer: (B) Tamluk

Tamluk was the centre of the Quit India movement in Medinipur, where the Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar, a parallel national government, functioned from 1942 to 1944 and Matangini Hazra was shot leading a procession. Kanthi (Contai) was also active, but Tamluk was the hub; Garbeta and Haldia were not.
