Solution

The correct option is C Ganga Action Plan
Ganga is a very important river of the North India. In fact, it is an international river which also flows through parts of Bangladesh. In India, it is not only a river but is worshipped as a goddess by a large section of people. It is considered a very important part of our history, culture and civilization. In recent years the river has suffered a lot of pollution. The Ganga action plan or GAP was a program launched in January 1986 in order to reduce the pollution load on the river. But, the efforts to decrease the pollution level in the river were unsuccessful even after spending a large amount of money. Therefore, this plan was withdrawn on 31 March, 2000.
So, the correct answer is option C.
