    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Siliguri Junction is one of the three railway stations that serves the city of Siliguri located in Darjeeling district in the Indian state of West Bengal. The other two stations are: Siliguri Town and New Jalpaiguri. It has 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge and Narrow Gauge tracks. It formerly had the distinction of having three gauges but the metre-gauge line from Aluabari Road to Siliguri Junction was converted later into broad gauge. Few years ago train bus used to run between Siliguri Junction to naksalbari by the metre gauge line.
