Solution

The correct option is D Subsidy
The government not only contributes to the developmental activities but also to welfare schemes for the poor. For example, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or MGNREGA and public distribution system or PDS. The government also gives money to poor farmers to buy inputs for farming. This is known as a subsidy. These schemes protect the livelihoods of people.
