Explanation

Jaipur is the only listed city with an operating metro rail service in Rajasthan. Jaipur Metro is the state's first metro rail system. Its first phase, a 9.6 km stretch from Mansarovar to Chandpole, began operations in 2015. The Rajasthan Transport Department's official page for Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation records 03.06.2015 as the commencement date of commercial operations for Phase 1A and 23.09.2020 for Phase 1B; it also lists the registered office at Mansarovar, Jaipur. Therefore, Jaipur, rather than any of the other listed cities, is the correct answer.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Udaipur is incorrect because it has no operating metro rail service; Rajasthan's metro rail service operates only in Jaipur.
• (B) Kota is incorrect because it has no operating metro rail service; Rajasthan's metro rail service operates only in Jaipur.
• (C) Jodhpur is incorrect because it has no operating metro rail service; Rajasthan's metro rail service operates only in Jaipur.
