In which year was Bombay renamed as Mumbai?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
The Government of India officially changed the English name to Mumbai in November 1995. This came at the insistence of the Marathi nationalist Shiv Sena party, which had just won the Maharashtra state elections, and mirrored similar name changes across the country and particularly in Maharashtra.
