D. Kharagpur Junction

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Hubballi Junction (Karnataka) is the longest railway platform in India, measuring 1,507 metres. It became the Rank 1 longest platform after receiving certification from Guinness World Records in early 2023.

Before Hubballi, Gorakhpur Junction held the 1st rank with a platform length of 1,366.33 metres. It was the longest platform in India until Hubballi surpassed it in 2023.

Kollam Junction in Kerala has a platform length of around 1,180 metres. It was once among the top long platforms but never held Rank 1.

Kharagpur Junction in West Bengal has a platform length of about 1,072 metres. It held the Rank 1 position for many years before Gorakhpur overtook it.

Thus, the longest railway platform in India is now Hubballi Junction.
