Answer 1

Hint:The main objective is to reduce the time and distance between the mega cities of India.These highways are called super highways.National Highways are maintained by the Central government.

Complete answer:
 Responsibility for the development, maintenance and management of National Highways is on NHAI. It was made operational in February nineteen hundred ninety five and It is currently undertaking the developmental activities under National Highways Development Project (NHDP) in phases. All the phases combined together are aimed at improvement of more than twenty five thousand km of arterial routes of National Highway Network to international standards.
The question is talking about The North South corridor. The largest ongoing highway project in India is the North-South-East-West Corridor . It is the second phase of the National Highway Development Project (NHDP). It consists of building seven thousand one hundred kilometres of four/six lane expressway connecting Srinagar, Kanyakumari, Porbandar and Silchar. The North-South Corridor would connect Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir with Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu with a four thousand km long road. The East-West Corridor, on the other hand, would connect Silchar in Assam with the port town of Porbandar in Gujarat with a three thousand six hundred km of road length.The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was constituted in nineteen hundred eighty eight.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:In addition to this other projects on National Highways, primarily road connectivity to major ports in India is also the responsibility of NHAI. The development and maintenance of the National Highways is handled by State Public Works Departments (PWDs) and Border Road Organisation (BRO) other than NHAI.
