    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    * Donyi Polo Airport (Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh): This newly constructed airport was inaugurated in 2022. It was built on undeveloped land, making it a greenfield project.

    * Kushinagar International Airport (Uttar Pradesh): This airport was inaugurated in 2021. It was also built as a new entity on undeveloped land, qualifying as a greenfield project.

    * Vijayawada International Airport (Andhra Pradesh): This airport has existed for several decades. While it has undergone significant expansion and modernization, it wasn't built from scratch on undeveloped land. Therefore, it's not a greenfield project.

    Therefore, only Donyi Polo Airport and Kushinagar International Airport are greenfield projects.
