Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is a mega-infrastructure project developed along the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC). The corridor spans approximately 1,504 km, passing through Uttar Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. According to official project data, Rajasthan accounts for the largest share of the corridor's length at approximately 39% (roughly 558 km). Gujarat follows with the second-largest share (approximately 38% or 565 km in some alignments, though Rajasthan remains the highest in total influence area and length in the primary DFC backbone). Maharashtra holds a significant portion (roughly 10%), while the NCR of Delhi has the smallest segment (approximately 1.5% or 12-22 km). Therefore, the correct descending order of length is Rajasthan—Gujarat—Maharashtra—NCR of Delhi.
