Explanation:

- Option 1: Where the contract was made

You can file a suit in the jurisdiction where the contract was formed. This follows the principle that the creation of the contract gives rise to the obligation.

- Option 2: Where the contract was to be performed or breach occurred

It is also valid to file a suit at the location where the contract was supposed to be executed or where the breach took place. This ensures logical connection to the event.

- Option 3: Anywhere in India

This option is incorrect. Contracts are territorial, and jurisdiction must be logically connected to the contract.

- Option 4: Both (a) and (b)

This is correct. Either location of contract formation or performance is valid.
