Complete Answer:
National Highway 7 also called NH 7, is a major North-South National Highway located in India running through the states of India such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. NH-7 was laid as well as is maintained by the Central structure Department (CPWD). This highway begins from the realm Hyderabad Gate located in Varanasi and ends close to Kanyakumari terminus along with the junction of Madras throughway no. 179.
The NH-7 (old NH-58) connects Hindu pilgrim centers of districts like Rishikesh, Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Chamoli, Joshimath, and Badrinath with Dehradun and Chandigarh. Pilgrims who travel to Sri Hemkunt Sahib take a diversion from Govindghat that lies on NH-7 between Joshimath and Badrinath. The road is most of the time closed during the winter months such as December, January, February and March within the upper reaches of the Himalayas through which the National Highway 7 passes. This road also goes to Mana Pass near the India-Tibetan border.

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Note- National Highway 7 (NH 7) could be a highway that connects Fazilka (Punjab) to Mana (Uttarakhand) in India. It passes through the Indian states like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
