A

Andhra Pradesh

B

Karnataka

C

Kerala

D

Tamil Nadu

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

1. The question refers to India's largest private sector sea port commissioned recently relative to the exam year (2009). 2. Mundra Port in Gujarat, operated by Adani Ports, was significantly expanding during this period and was already a major private sector port. 3. Krishnapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh was commissioned in July 2008. It was developed as a deep-water private sector sea port and aimed for large capacities. 4. Given the timing ('recently commissioned' before 2009) and scale, Krishnapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh fits the description well as a major, newly commissioned private port.
