Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's compute the two types of Ton-Kilometres:
1. **Absolute Ton-Kilometre:**
Absolute Ton-Km=(Distance of each segment×Tons carried in that segment)\text{Absolute Ton-Km} = \sum (\text{Distance of each segment} \times \text{Tons carried in that segment})
Based on the lorry's route segments and loads, the calculation yields 1,690 absolute ton-km.
2. **Commercial Ton-Kilometre:**
Commercial Ton-Km=Total Distance×Average Weight carried\text{Commercial Ton-Km} = \text{Total Distance} \times \text{Average Weight carried}
The total distance is 150 km and average weight is 13.33 tons, yielding 2,000 commercial ton-km.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
