Answer
D. It's an indigenously developed road construction technology at high altitudes
Step-by-step solution
REJUPAVE is an indigenously developed road construction technology designed specifically for high-altitude areas. It was developed by the CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) and is utilized by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to construct roads in extreme cold conditions, such as those near the India-China border. The technology helps in lowering the heating requirement of bituminous mixes and preserves the heat during transit, making road construction feasible in sub-zero temperatures. Answer: It's an indigenously developed road construction technology at high altitudes
