India-People and Economy: International Trade

Question:

Which mode of transportation has the advantage of taking the least time for carriage and handling high-value or perishable goods over long distances?

Options:

Waterways

Railways

Airways

Roadways

Correct Answer:

Airways

Explanation:

Air transport plays an important role in the international trade. It has the advantage of taking the least time for carriage and handling high value or perishable goods over long distances. It is very costly and unsuitable for carrying heavy and bulky commodities. This ultimately reduces the participation of this sector in the international trade as compared to the oceanic routes.
