Explanation

Eden Gardens in Kolkata is one of the most iconic and historic cricket stadiums in the world.

It is the home ground for the Bengal cricket team and the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders.

Option D: Major tennis tournaments and activities in Kolkata are held at venues like the South Club, which is famous for hosting national and international tennis events.
