Which of the following has a potential for harnessing of tidal energy in India?

  • A.Gulf of Cambay
  • B.Gulf of Mannar
  • C.Backwaters of Kerala
  • D.Chilka lake

Answer: A

The Gulf of Cambay has the best tidal potential.

Its funnel shape amplifies the tide to a range of about 11 m, among the highest in the world; the Gulf of Kutch and the Sunderbans follow. Tidal power needs a large range within a narrow basin, which the other options do not offer.
