Complete answer:
The East-West corridor of the Golden Quadrilateral superhighway connects Silchar, Porbandar pair of cities. The NS-EW Corridor (North–South–East–West Corridor) is India's largest ongoing highway project. It is the second phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), which entails the construction of 7300 kilometers of four/six-lane expressways connecting Srinagar, Kanyakumari, Kochi, Porbandar, and Silchar for a total cost of US$12.317 billion (at 1999 prices). As of March 31, 2018, 6875 kilometers of the 7142-kilometer project have been completed.

The NS-EW Corridor, when combined with the Golden Quadrilateral network and port connector highways, is a significant portion of India's highway network, connecting many of the country's major industry, commercial, and cultural areas.

India had finished and put into service 15,800 kilometers of four-lane motorways as of May 2012.The National Highways Authority of India, which is part of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, is in charge of the NS–EW project.

The East-West corridor of the Golden Quadrilateral superhighway connects Silchar, Porbandar pair of cities.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: The governments that create and maintain major roadways frequently name and number them. At approximately 14,500 kilometers (9,000 miles), Australia's Highway 1 is the world's longest national highway, running virtually the entire length of the continent. China has the greatest roadway network in the world, followed by the United States of America. Some highways cross many nations, such as the Pan-American Highway or European routes. Ferry services are available on certain key highway routes, such as US Route 10, which crosses Lake Michigan.
