Correct Answer: Option A — North-South and East-West Corridor. North-South and East-West Corridor is correct because it is a national highway development corridor crossing India in two broad axes. North-South and East-West Corridor is also specifically associated with the North-South axis links Srinagar with Kanyakumari. Two additional identifying facts are that North-South and East-West Corridor is the East-West axis links Silchar with Porbandar and North-South and East-West Corridor is associated with Jhansi is an important junction associated with the two axes. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option B — 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. • Option C — National Highway: National Highway is a nationally designated arterial road connecting major regions. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is the Union government is responsible for national-highway development and maintenance arrangements. • Option D — Expressway: Expressway is an access-controlled high-speed road corridor. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is entry and exit are generally limited to designated interchanges. Exam Takeaway: Connect North-South and East-West Corridor with “a national highway development corridor crossing India in two broad axes” and “the North-South axis links Srinagar with Kanyakumari”.
