Correct Answer:
A. Meghalaya
Explanation:
The unique 'living root bridges' where local people train the roots of living trees into robust bridges across streams are found in Meghalaya.
These living root bridges are mainly constructed using the aerial roots of rubber trees (Ficus elastica) by the Khasi and Jaintia tribes.
Over time, these roots grow stronger, forming natural, durable bridges that can last for centuries.
These bridges are mainly found in the East Khasi Hills and West Jaintia Hills districts of Meghalaya.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Meghalaya.
