Correct Answer: Banking of roads


Solution : The correct option is the B anking of roads.

A construction method known as road banking is used to make curving roads safer for vehicles to travel on at faster speeds. The road surface can be carefully tilted to raise the outer edge over the inner edge, creating a centripetal force that makes turning by cars safer and more effective. Vehicles are less likely to flip over or lose control while navigating curves owing to this construction.
