Which mode of transport is best for moving a car from Japan to Tanzania?
- Water transport
- Pipeline transport
- Cable transport
- Road transport
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Water transport
1. Japan and Tanzania are separated by ocean, so the route must cross open sea.
2. Water transport is the only mode among these that can carry heavy goods across an ocean.
3. It is also the cheapest way to move bulky cargo over long distances.
4. Road transport cannot cross an ocean, and no road links the two countries.
5. Pipelines carry only liquids and gases, and cable transport works over short distances such as valleys.
