Solution

The correct option is C National highways
National Highways are main highways running through the length and breadth of the country connecting major ports, state capitals, large industrial and tourist centers, etc. National Highways in India are designated as NH followed by the highway number. The traffic on National Highways has been growing due to the recent economic growth in India and the Government of India is taking steps to improve management techniques to provide hindrance-free traffic movement by way of widening roads, grade separation, construction of bypasses, bridges, rail-road crossings, and utilizing the latest technologies. Even though the National Highways represent only 2% of the total network length, they handle about 40% of the total road traffic.
