The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

The Government of India operates four mints for coin production, all managed by the India Government Mint under the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL). These mints are located in:
- Mumbai: Established in 1829, it produces coins and commemorative issues.
- Hyderabad: Operational since 1997, it focuses on high-volume coin production.
- Kolkata: One of the oldest mints, established in 1757, producing coins and medals.
- Noida: Set up in 1988, it handles modern coinage requirements.
All four locations are actively involved in minting coins, making option (4) correct, as it includes all listed mints.

Approach Solution -2

Checking each mint individually:
India Government Mint operates four coinage facilities under SPMCIL. Testing each city named in the options: Mumbai has been a functioning mint since the colonial era and still produces circulation coins; Kolkata is the oldest mint and remains active; Hyderabad was set up later but is fully operational for high-volume minting; Noida is the newest facility and also mints coins for circulation. Since none of these four locations has been shut down or excluded from coin production, any option that omits one of them is incomplete. Only the option listing all four, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Noida, accounts for every currently active government mint, confirming option (4).
