This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A ship

The correct answer is 3. A ship.

The Kamagata Maru was a Japanese ship that attempted to transport over 300 Indian passengers, mostly Sikhs, to Canada in 1914. However, they were denied entry and forced to return to India. This event is significant in the history of immigration and racial discrimination.

Let's eliminate the incorrect options:

  • 1. An army unit: The Kamagata Maru was not an army unit; it was a vessel.
  • 2. A harbour: A harbour is a place where ships dock; the Kamagata Maru was a ship itself.
  • 4. An industrial township: An industrial township is a residential area for workers; it has no connection to the Kamagata Maru.
