Explanation:
Airways is not a land means of transport. Here is the detailed explanation:
Land means of transport:
Land means of transport refer to the various modes of transportation that operate on land. These modes are used to transport people, goods, and materials from one place to another within the same country or region. The main land means of transport are:
1. Roadways: Roadways refer to the system of roads and highways that are used for transportation by vehicles like cars, buses, trucks, and motorcycles. Roadways are the most common and widely used means of land transport.
2. Railways: Railways are a mode of transport consisting of a network of tracks along which trains travel. Railways are used for both passenger and freight transport. Trains run on tracks and are powered by locomotives.
3. Pipelines: Pipelines are used to transport liquids or gases. They are long, cylindrical structures that transport materials through them. Pipelines are commonly used for transporting oil, gas, and water over long distances.
Airways:
Airways, on the other hand, are not a land means of transport. Airways refer to the system of transportation by aircraft. Airplanes and helicopters are used for transporting people and goods through the air. Unlike roadways, railways, and pipelines, airways do not operate on land but in the air.
Summary:
In summary, the correct answer is option 'B' - Airways. Airways are not a land means of transport as they operate in the air rather than on land. Roadways, railways, and pipelines are all examples of land means of transport.
