The answer is D. Every element of the geometric design is worst affected by the design speed.

The Road design must be followed the speed of vehicle.

Worst affected mean very dangerous condition.

What do they mean by worst affected? Please explain.

Speed is the overall function of Geometric design.

Speed is the major contribution of superelevation but in the road designing width height, length is also considered acc to IRC.

Width:pavement width, shoulder & parking.
Length:radius of curve, extra widening, osd &ssd.
Height:vertical clearance & flyovers, electric poles.
Speed: gradient, superelevation, sight distance.

Width length and height of vehicle are fixed parameter according to IRC and speed is variable for different speed SSD will be different so speed is considered to be worst (But at the time of designing of road length width and height of vehicle also considered).

Width, length, height don't have any impact?

Speed of vehicle is only involved as a variable while the other three parameters are taken as per IRC reccomendation. Thus ie speed which contributes a major role.
