Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Enugu is known as the "Coal City" because of its historical significance as a coal mining hub. The city’s development in the early 20th century was driven by coal mining, which attracted many workers and led to economic growth. Coal from Enugu was used to fuel trains and factories across Nigeria, contributing significantly to the country's industrialization. Although coal mining has decreased, Enugu retains the nickname and remains a cultural and educational center in southeastern Nigeria.
