Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Roll-on roll-off (ro-ro is an acronym for roll-on roll-off) ships are vessels designed to carry wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, trailers that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle.

Automobiles had their fuel tank emptied and their batteries disconnected before being hoisted onto the ship which was a difficult and tedious process and vehicles were subject to damage and could not be used for routine/daily travel.)
On 23rd Oct 2017, Prime Minister inaugurated the first phase of the roll-on roll-off ferry service (for conveying passenger and goods both) connecting Saurashtra with South Gujarat.
