Model Answer
(a) The Golden Quadrilateral Super Highway project links the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai by six-lane Super Highways.
Source: Roadways, Chapter 7
Explanation
The textbook clearly states "linking Delhi-Kolkata-Chennai-Mumbai and Delhi by six-lane Super Highways." Option (b) is wrong because it connects metro cities, not all state capitals. Options (c) and (d) are completely incorrect — it is a road project, not a rail corridor or port-linking expressway. Examiners expect you to recall "six-lane" and the four cities correctly.
