C.
Camber
-
D.
Gradient
Correct Answer:
B. Crown
Explanation:
The highest point on a road surface or carriage way is known as the crown. This point is located at the peak of the camber, which is the transverse slope provided to the road to facilitate effective drainage of rainwater toward the edges. While the camber refers to the overall cross-slope, the crown specifically identifies the uppermost longitudinal line where the slopes meet. Other features like the gradient refer to the longitudinal slope for vertical alignment, rather than the peak of the road's cross-section.
