Solution
Ports, which handle bulk and general cargo in large volume, are called comprehensive ports.
Explanation:
Comprehensive ports handle both bulk cargo (coal, iron ore, and crude oil) and ordinary cargo (containers and manufactured commodities) in high volumes. By contrast:
- Ferry Ports (A) primarily serve passenger transit.
- Inland Ports (B) are situated away from the sea, typically near rivers.
- Ports of Call (C) function as intermediate stops for ships on long itineraries.
