Which of the following statements is incorrect about roadways as a means of transport?
Answer: D
The incorrect statement is Roadways are the cheapest for carrying heavy and bulky goods over long distances.
For heavy, bulky goods over long distances, waterways are the cheapest means of transport, and railways are also cheaper than roads for such loads. Roads are costly per tonne over long hauls.
The other statements are correct. Roads are the most commonly used means of transport, especially for short distances. Roads built underground are called subways or underpaths. And the plains, being level and densely populated, have a dense network of roads, while mountains, deserts and forests have few.
