Answer 1

Hint: The removal of an organ from a person surgically and transplants to another person is known as Organ donation. The green corridor implies the transportation of organs needed for transplantation from one hospital to another hospital without traffic delay.

Complete answer:
For transplant of harvested organs to reach the destined hospital a demarcated, cleared out road route is created for an ambulance this is known as a green corridor.
