Olive Ridley Sea turtle have begun emerging on the sea waters of :
Answer: B
The key's answer is the Odisha Coast.
Odisha has the world's largest mass-nesting sites of the olive ridley sea turtle. Hundreds of thousands of females emerge from the sea together in an arribada at Gahirmatha, the Rushikulya river mouth and the Devi river mouth, usually between January and March. Gahirmatha is protected as a marine sanctuary.
Olive ridleys also nest in much smaller numbers on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra, including Sindhudurg beaches near Devgad and Malvan, where community hatcheries protect the eggs, but these are scattered nests, not mass emergence. The Sundarbans are a mangrove delta, not a known nesting coast for the species.
