The Grand Trunk Road, built by Sher Shah Suri, connects Lahore to East Bengal, making option 3 the correct answer. The Grand Trunk Road is one of the oldest and longest roads in South Asia, spanning over 1,500 miles. It was originally built to facilitate trade and travel between various regions of the Mughal Empire. While option 1 (Agra to Punjab) and option 4 (Multan to Agra) both involve regions connected by the Grand Trunk Road, they do not represent the full extent of the road. Option 2 (Punjab to East Bengal) is incorrect as it does not mention Lahore, which is an important city along the route. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
