Solution

The correct options are
A Freight transport by trucks is costlier than railways
D Environment friendly system
In the Roll-on Roll-off system, trucks loaded with goods are transported to the desired station on a train. From the station, the trucks supply or deliver the goods to the desired location. This helps in saving transport cost because the railway travels the same journey for the truck. Moreover, lesser fuel is required and hence, pollution is greatly reduced.
