Solution

The correct option is C Unemployment allowances
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or MGNREGA scheme aims to provide a livelihood to people who live in rural areas, are willing to work, and can do physical or unskilled labour. Under this scheme, the government guarantees seven hours of work per day for a hundred days. If it is unable to provide jobs, then it has to pay unemployment allowances to the people.
