Tap an option to check your answer.
Answer: (D)
The Second Plan followed the Mahalanobis strategy of rapid heavy-industry-led industrialization (iii). The Fourth Plan gave prominence to family planning programmes (iv). The Fifth Plan carried the Garibi Hatao thrust of poverty removal and self-reliance (ii). The Eleventh Plan was themed towards faster and more inclusive growth (i).
So (a, iii), (b, iv), (c, ii), (d, i), which is option (D).
Option (B) mis-assigns the Fifth Plan to inclusive growth and the Eleventh to self-reliance, swapping the modern inclusive-growth theme onto the wrong decade.
