  4. NH-34-Sevak-Gangtok

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: NH-34-Sevak-Gangtok

Explanation: The correct answer is D. NH-34 – Sevok–Gangtok NH-34 originally ran from Dum Dum (Kolkata) to Dalkhola in North Bengal. After rationalization in 2010, much of NH-34 has been renumbered as NH-12. The route from Sevok to Gangtok is NOT covered by NH-34, but rather by NH-10, which connects Sevok (in West Bengal) to Gangtok (in Sikkim). Old vs. New Numbering • NH-12 (new) is old NH-34 — North–South spine of WB. • NH-19 (new) is old NH-2 — East–West link (Golden Quadrilateral). • NH-10 (new) is old NH-31A — Siliguri to Gangtok. • NH-112 (new) is old NH-35 — Barasat to Bangaon. • NH-116 (new) is old NH-41 — Kolaghat to Haldia.
