Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Jebel Ali Port
- Step 1: Jebel Ali Port is the largest man-made harbour, constructed in the late 1970s to supplement the facilities at Port Rashid through the efforts of Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum. Answer: Jebel Ali Port. Why not the others: Port Rashid is the older facility that Jebel Ali was built to supplement; Khalifa Port is in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, not Dubai; Port Khalid is a different port, not the one described as the largest man-made harbour.
