Solution

The correct option is C Annapurna Scheme for senior citizens
In 2000, two new schemes, namely Antyodaya Anna Yojana and Annapurna Scheme, were introduced. The Antyodaya Anna Yojana identified the poorest of the poor and provided 25 kg of foodgrains at the highly subsidised rate of ₹2 per kg for wheat and ₹3 per kg for rice. The Annapurna Scheme focused on indigent senior citizens by providing 10 kg of foodgrains per month free of cost.
