Answer 2

The position of India in the world in terms of the size of the road network is 'Second position'.

Option B

Explanation:

• India has one of the great road networks in the nations, with a total distance of 54.8 lakh km (As per Economic Survey 2016 to 17).
• About 85% of passengers and 70% of freight traffic travel by roads every year.
• Road transport, in the modern feel, was very less in India before World War-II. The first serious try was done in 1943 when the ‘Nagpur Plan’ was drawn'.
• This plan 'could not be' executed because of the lack of partnership among British India and princely states.
