Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The State Government is responsible for the construction and maintenance of State Highways.

Physiography is a determinant of the development of road networks along with economic development. Thus, the density of roads is not uniform. In India, village roads account for 80%. In the state level, the state highways are constructed and maintained by the State Governments.
