    2 and 4 only
  4. D
    1, 2, 3, and 4

Cevap

The statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, while statement 4 is incorrect because National Waterway-2 covers the Brahmaputra River stretch between Dhubri and Sadiya, whereas National Waterway-1 covers the Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system between Prayagraj and Haldia.
Statements 1, 2, and 3 present accurate facts regarding India's transport network. National Waterway-3 (NW-3) consists of the West Coast Canal (Kottapuram-Kollam) along with the Udyogamandal and Champakara canals in Kerala. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor runs from Sahnewal (Ludhiana) to Dankuni. Kamarajar Port (Ennore) is uniquely structured as a corporatised entity among India's major ports. Statement 4 is false because the Prayagraj-Haldia stretch along the Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly system is designated as National Waterway-1 (NW-1), whereas National Waterway-2 (NW-2) covers the Brahmaputra river from Dhubri to Sadiya.
