Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A Packet Station is specifically designed to handle smaller, shorter-distance routes or services. It operates on a smaller scale compared to large ports and is usually part of regional shipping services.
- Option (B) Ports of Call refer to ports where ships dock during their journey, typically over longer distances.
- Option (C) Out Ports are generally related to ports used for export goods, which may involve larger distances.
- Option (D) Entrepot Ports are intermediate ports used for transshipment and long-distance shipping.
Thus, the correct option is (A) Packet Station.
