Answer»

The correct option is (b) Railways

For EXPLANATION: We do know shipways are cheaper. But we need ANOTHER MODE of transport to transfer that coal to the plant area. But in case of railways the TRACKS can be made to directly pass through the plant. Hence the RAILWAY is more economical compared to any other means of transport.
