I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

Query is from Conveying Equipment in section Construction Equipments of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Ropeways

For explanation I would say: The initial cost of ropeway is high and hence, its installation is justified when large quantity of materials used to be handled. It is possible to discharge loads automatically at any point from any desired height while using ropeways.
