In 1845, the British purchased this Danish Fort in India :

  • A.Pondicherry
  • B.Dansborg
  • C.Kronborg
  • D.Fort St George

Answer: B

The fort was Dansborg.

Dansborg is the Danish fort at Tranquebar (Tharangambadi) on the Coromandel coast, built in 1620 by the Danish East India Company. In 1845 Denmark sold Tranquebar and its other Indian possession, Serampore in Bengal, to the British East India Company, ending Danish rule in India.

Pondicherry was French, and remained so until 1954. Kronborg is a royal castle in Denmark itself, at Helsingor. Fort St George at Madras was English from the start in 1640.
