Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II explains Statement-I
The Sumed (Suez-Mediterranean) pipeline links Egypt’s Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea to Sidi Kerir on the Mediterranean, so Statement II is correct. It is an oil-only pipeline; it does not carry natural gas, making Statement I inaccurate. Hence Statement I is incorrect while Statement II is correct.
