Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Chandigarh-Manali road is a critical link, particularly given its proximity to the India-China border and the Himalayan landscape. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is responsible for its construction and upkeep.
The BRO's mandate includes building and maintaining roads in border regions and mountainous areas.
These routes are vital for national security, facilitating tourism, and promoting development in remote areas.
The BRO has been instrumental in developing all-weather road access in difficult environments such as Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh.
