(c)Appalachian Trail — United States of America
(d)Rogun Dam — Tajikistan
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Seikan Rail Tunnel — China
Seikan Rail Tunnel is in Japan, not China, so pair (a) is wrongly matched. Petronas Towers are in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the Appalachian Trail is a long-distance hiking trail in the United States; and Rogun Dam is being built on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan, all of which are correctly matched to their countries.
