Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A transport corridor is identified by its officially designated terminal cities, which define the route between its endpoints.
The North–South and East–West Corridors are components of the National Highways Development Project, and each corridor has a distinct pair of termini.
Application
The East–West Corridor is designated from Silchar in Assam to Porbandar in Gujarat.
Contrast
Guwahati and Ahmadabad substitutes both designated termini with other cities in the same broad east–west regions.
Guwahati and Udaipur uses cities in Assam and Rajasthan rather than the designated terminal pair.
Silchar and Bhuj retains the eastern terminus but substitutes Bhuj for the designated western terminus, Porbandar.
Result
Therefore, the corridor runs between Silchar and Porbandar.
