B Correct answer
Explanation

The Himsagar Express runs approximately 3,750 km from Jammu Tawi to Kanyakumari, taking about 74 hours - both the longest distance and time on Indian Railways. Rajdhani Express is fast but not the longest. Bhopal Shatabdi is one of the fastest. Samjhauta Express is the India-Pakistan diplomatic train.

AI explanation

The Himsagar Express, running between Kanyakumari and Jammu Tawi, has traditionally covered the longest single continuous route on Indian Railways in both distance and travel time, crossing nearly the entire length of the country. Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and Samjhauta routes are all comparatively shorter or serve different (often faster, point-to-point) purposes.
