-
B.
Marshalling yard
-
C.
Station yard
-
D.
Goods yard
Correct Answer:
B. Marshalling yard
Explanation:
A marshalling yard is a specialized railway station used for separating and connecting railroad cars. Wagons arrive at the yard, where they are sorted onto different tracks based on their destination, and then reassembled to form new goods trains for onward travel. Unlike a standard goods yard used for loading or a shunting yard used for short-distance movements, a marshalling yard serves as a primary hub for organizing freight traffic across the rail network.
