The correct option is D All of the above
Congestions in large cities are caused by the sudden growth in vehicular population and lack of proper infrastructure and public facilities. To reduce congestions, proper development in infrastructure and public transport can be carried out. People can be encouraged to take public transport to reduce the number of vehicles on road. This also will help to reduce pollution.
