The correct answer is option 3: Vadodara—Pune—Visakhapatnam—Varanasi.

The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network in India that connects the major cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. It is an important part of the National Highway Development Project (NHDP) undertaken by the government to improve infrastructure and connectivity.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not correct:

- Option 1: Amritsar—Ahmedabad—Pune—Patna. While Amritsar and Ahmedabad are part of the larger highway network in India, they are not included in the Golden Quadrilateral. Similarly, Pune and Patna are also not part of the Golden Quadrilateral, so this option does not pass through the required cities.

- Option 2: Jaipur—Porbandar—Hyderabad—Varanasi. Just like the first option, Jaipur, Porbandar, and Hyderabad are not part of the Golden Quadrilateral. Varanasi is one of the required cities, but this option does not connect the other required cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai).

- Option 4: Nagpur—Bhopal—Surat—Amritsar. Nagpur,
