Two additional identifying facts are that Expressway is grade-separated junctions reduce crossing conflicts and Expressway is associated with an expressway should not be confused with every divided national highway. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option B — Golden Quadrilateral: Golden Quadrilateral is a major highway network linking Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is it forms a quadrilateral connecting four major metropolitan regions. • Option C — North-South and East-West Corridor: North-South and East-West Corridor is a national highway development corridor crossing India in two broad axes. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is the North-South axis links Srinagar with Kanyakumari. • Option D — Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana: Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is a rural-road programme focused on eligible unconnected habitations. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is all-weather road connectivity is a central objective.
