B Darbhanga and Amlekhganj
C Motihari and Kathmandu
D None of these

Correct answer: (a) Motihari and Amlekhganj

Explanation

  1. A

    Motihari and Amlekhganj

    (a) Motihari and Amlekhganj. The India–Nepal petroleum product pipeline from Motihari (Bihar) to Amlekhganj (Nepal) was inaugurated in September 2019. That pair is the official key.

  2. B

    Darbhanga and Amlekhganj

    (b) Darbhanga and Amlekhganj. Darbhanga is not the Indian terminal of this line.

  3. C

    Motihari and Kathmandu

    (c) Motihari and Kathmandu. The first phase ends at Amlekhganj, not Kathmandu.

  4. D

    None of these

    (d) None of these. The Motihari–Amlekhganj pair exists, so ‘none’ fails.

Summary. Official key is (a) Motihari and Amlekhganj. Cross-border oil pipeline inaugurated September 2019. Not Darbhanga, not Kathmandu as the first-phase end. Honour the stored letter (a).
