Which definition best matches 'route'?

• A. a course that certain forms of transport follow habitually
• B. a way of achieving something
• C. a course or path of travel
• D. a map for travelers

Answer: (C)

The route is a course or path of travel. It’s the path you take to move from one place to another, whether by car, train, foot, or ship, and it can be the planned or actual way you go from start to destination. That makes it the best fit for this meaning because it directly describes the route itself—the route you follow. A map for travelers is the map, not the route. A habitual path is related but describes a repeated behavior rather than the general definition of the path itself. A way of achieving something is a metaphorical usage, not the primary sense of a physical path. So the clear match is the course or path of travel.
