B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false. The Bailey bridge in Ladakh is NOT the highest bridge in the world. While it is at high altitude in the Himalayas, there are many bridges built at higher elevations in other mountain ranges, particularly in the Himalayas in China and Nepal. The Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated truss bridge, not a specific claimant to the highest bridge title. Modern engineering has produced bridges at much higher altitudes.
