The Golden Quadrilateral Highway is a network of highways that connects the major cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai in India. The question asks which section of this highway is the longest in terms of route distance.

Option 1: Delhi - Kolkata. This section connects Delhi and Kolkata. Although it is an important part of the Golden Quadrilateral, it is not the longest section.

Option 2: Kolkata - Chennai. This section connects Kolkata and Chennai. The correct answer states that this is the longest section in terms of route distance. This means that the distance between Kolkata and Chennai is greater than the distances between the other cities in the Golden Quadrilateral.

Option 3: Chennai - Mumbai. This section connects Chennai and Mumbai. While it is an important part of the Golden Quadrilateral, it is not the longest section.

Option 4: Mumbai - Delhi. This section connects Mumbai and Delhi. It is also an important part of the Golden Quadrilateral, but it is not the longest section.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, as it states that the Kolkata - Chennai section is the longest in terms of route distance.
