Hint: The National Highways in India refers to a network of trunk roads which are owned by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Roads and its systems play an integral part by not only connecting people from one place to another but also contributes to a country’s economic development and regional planning.

Complete answer:
In the year 1999, the National Highways Development Project launched a massive programme of road building in the country by the name Golden Quadrilateral Project. This project is one of the largest projects of road building in the country.

The section III of Golden Quadrilateral is 1290 km which stretches from Chennai to Mumbai and it constitutes parts of National Highway 4 which is a major highway in India connecting Mumbai to Chennai. The former NH 4 is now given a new name as NH 48.On the other hand, The Corridor Project which is also known as the North-South-East-West Corridor is one of the largest ongoing highway projects in India. Many massive and developmental projects consist of building expressways connecting places such as Srinagar, Kanyakumari, Porbandar and Silchar . This also includes the National Highway 7 in the North- South corridor.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:The National Highways in India are constructed and maintained by the works of three agencies such as 1) The National Highways Authority of India, 2) The State Public Works Department and 3)The Border Road Organization.
