B	Gurugon
C	Gurugram
D	Guregon

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Gurgaon (Hindi: [ɡʊɽɡãːw]), officially named Gurugram [ɡʊɾʊɡɾaːm], is a planned city located in the northern Indian state of Haryana.

Detailed explanation-2: -The town derived its name from Guru Dronacharya; the village was given as “gurudakshina” to him by his students, the Pandavas, and hence it came to be known as Gurugram. This name in course of time got distorted to Gurgaon. Therefore, the people of the area had been long demanding that Gurgaon be renamed as Gurugram.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dronacharya opened his school in the village, eventually settling here. Thus, the place was called ‘guru ka gaon’ meaning the teacher’s village. Over time, the name got shortened to Gurgaon, and in 2016, it was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 2016, Gurgaon was renamed as Gurugram, which is the corporate hub of Haryana on the outskirts of Delhi.
