Solution

The correct option is B Pipeline
Pipeline transport network is a new arrival on the transportation map of India. In the past, these were used to transport water to cities and industries. Now, these are used for transporting crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas from oil and natural gas fields to refineries, fertilizer factories and big thermal power plants.

Trans-shipment is nothing but changing of modes of transport. For example road ways to water ways. During this there may be leakage especially in case of liquids and harmful chemicals. This is the reason why they are transported through pipelines to avoid losses due to trans-shipment.
