A
I and II only
B

C

D

Correct Answer

Explanation

Option (D) is correct because the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana targets 1 crore residential rooftop installations and specifically includes a capacity-building component to create 3.25 lakh skilled workers for the solar ecosystem. Option (A) is the most tempting wrong choice for candidates who may focus only on the high-profile household target while overlooking the scheme's integrated skilling and grassroots training mandates. The core concept tested is the multi-dimensional implementation of national renewable energy policies, which link infrastructure targets with human resource development.
